This Is Only A Test



Sometimes in life things will happen out of our control
That will grip us to our very soul
Lean on God in these times for He knows best
These "situations " in life are only a test
Of your faith and patience to see if you will allow the Devil to break you
Or choose a higher power to defeat the enemy too
For His weapons are mighty and can create wonders
Even in the midst of all of life's blunders
Fall to your knees and give it to God
For where you walk now He has already trod.
