STOP AND THINK

STOP AND THINK A MOMENT
OF WHERE YOU ARE TODAY.
HAVE YOU REALLY COME THIS FAR
WITHOUT THE NEED TO PRAY?

HAS IT ALWAYS BEEN SO EASY?
HAVE YOU ALWAYS DONE WHAT'S RIGHT?
NEVER WORRIED, NEVER FEARFUL
IF YOU'D MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT.

NEVER NEEDING TO CRY OUT
"MY LORD, MY GOD, WHY ME?"
OR STUMBLING, IF NOT FALLING
TO LAND ON BENDED KNEE.

THINK AGAIN ABOUT THIS
AND JUST HOW FAR YOU'VE COME,
THEN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FOLD YOUR HANDS
AND THANK GOD FOR HIS ONLY SON.
