If you would walk a mile in my shoes what would you see?
You would see  loving parents who always cared for me.

You would see those who always sacrificed for me. 
Introducing me to Jesus who always walked with me. 

Always gently guiding never pushing
having the freedom to be searching.

Through the many dark storms of life
walking with Jesus lessens the strive.

Never quitting whatever you start.
Building perseverance in your heart.

Perseverance leads to faith and faith to hope.
This combination broadens your spiritual scope.

What I am today is a product of where I've been.
Leading to a bright future, I'm proud to be in.
