THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE

I often sit and contemplate and think

God in all his righteousness was right

He gave this earth to mankind as a sigh

Of his unmerited love from above

Saying have rule over all then the great fall

 

When will I ever feel set free

Will you be the first to relive me

 

Your approval is my master

Chaining me with silent laughter

Making forgiveness my greatest enemy

While my guilt grows stronger in me

There is refection of success

All the while striving endlessly without any rest

Knowing inside what could have been

The realization of my sin

I see myself true reflection in the mirror

And I ask myself once again

Today will I see myself win?

 

Something I am proud to say

I choose to no longer live that way

 

It's the ultimate challenge that I had to face

Finding a life of balance I fought hard to gain

I learned to live a new way, finding the real me

And I love my life today living life as free

 

I still sit and contemplate and think

How God in all his righteousness, yes, was right

Giving earth to mankind as a sign

Of his unconditional love from above

Saying in the earth have rule over all

Then took the time to forgive us for the fall
