| As I look back on all I've experienced,
It seems impossible, yet,
My faith seems to falter and fear enters in
And I tend at times to forget
That God is my Rock, my Fortress, my Tower;
He will forever be my Defender.
When things look bleak and I don't know the way,
I must remember to remember.
| | |
| As I move on toward the future
Full of hope and expectation,
My thoughts turn toward the youth I meet
And how to mentor the next generation.
I am appointed to them as an ambassador
Commissioned and sent by the Great Sender.
My words are used to shape their lives,
So I must remember to engender.

| As I plod along Fifth Avenue
And view the monuments to the strong and the needy;
People scrambling to make a buck,
Caring little for the aged, infirm, or needy.
The Lord, however, takes it very personally
How we treat these "least" of society's members.
What I do to them, I do to Him,
An d so I must remember to be tender.
| | |
| As I step onto this field of battle
And face my enemy,
His armies roar and bang their shields
Bent on defeating me.
Then I recognize his face, for it is my own,
And against God, I am the Contender.
Victory is found in God alone,
And so to Him I remember to surrender.
| | |
| As I come into this place of worship
To join my family and friends,
Everyone gathers and sits in rows
And sings the latest musical trends.
The Lord is here and potential is great
To defeat the great Tormentor,
Who wants to keep me from the presence of God
And so I must remember to enter.
