When the going gets tough
And life seems a bit rough
There is only one person that I turn to
And God that is you
Because no one can do for me
Not even my closest friends and family
The way that you can
As I am only seeing one set of footprints in this sand
And I know that you are there for me more than I realize
And it's time for me to stop trying to view things through closed eyes
Even though at times it feels that I've got my fair share
I know that you'll never put more on me than I can bare
I only wish that others had more faith and trust in you as I do
And that they would put more effort into loving you
Rather than chasing street dreams and fancy cars
Or women that they picked up in bars
No God that isn't the life for me
I'm thankful everyday for my little family
And life seems a bit rough
There is only one person that I turn to
And God that is you
Because no one can do for me
Not even my closest friends and family
The way that you can
As I am only seeing one set of footprints in this sand
And I know that you are there for me more than I realize
And it's time for me to stop trying to view things through closed eyes
Even though at times it feels that I've got my fair share
I know that you'll never put more on me than I can bare
I only wish that others had more faith and trust in you as I do
And that they would put more effort into loving you
Rather than chasing street dreams and fancy cars
Or women that they picked up in bars
No God that isn't the life for me
I'm thankful everyday for my little family
And I thank you for everyday that you wake me
