If you remember
The good things gone.
And how bad things
Just seem to fade.
How some bad things
Were really funny things.
And how the good Lord
From your trouble He saved.
Then you realize
That life is all yours
At the command of the Lord.
And if you serve Him
Loving Day by day,
He'lll give you your treasures
And His most precious reward.
