If determination is in my life wanting
Surely circumstances will be daunting
I will be lacking the spirit to achieve
Great ideas, I may not then conceive

If my mind wanders without firm aim
How can I expect a very good time?
The very purpose of living is for peace
What is the use, if joy and mirth cease?

Whenever my mind gets terribly upset
Self-confidence proves to be an asset
Unfortunately if I lack in solid will-power
My performance will turn out to be poor

Loss and defeat if give me great fear
Surely I will submerge in flood of tear
On the other hand, if I give up not guts
Mind gets peace and I eliminate regrets

God is there to give company for me
And console my soul if it feels gloomy
Prayer is there for giving divine solace
I am sure that happiness I can trace

I care never about those ups and downs
I regard defeats as just circus clowns
I can at any time overpower them surely
I rely upon my skill and the Lord purely
