Behind the scenes

God is at work behind the scenes

Let me tell you what this means

He is working things out for the good of the ones who love him

Even if your situation may look dim

It may look bad now

But in the end you are going to be saying wow

He is the father all powerful

As his followers we need to be forever grateful

Father god I thank you for the good and the bad

God loves us all like a dad

My family is my motivation

Together we will face all these trails and tribulations

We will serve the lord of all creation

Because he is the one who delivers us from this evil temptation

Remember his thoughts

Are above your thoughts

Blessed

I am blessed

The lord gave me his best

I am grateful for everything his has done

Especially blessing me with 2 sons

They are the world to me

Help me to teach them to be

Godly and faithful men

And to show them that I’m their biggest fan

I pray that you help me to set a good example for them

And show them they are a priceless gem

Help us teach them right from wrong

And teach them good christian songs

I
