"Our Faith In God"
Weve had our "ups and downs" in life, Our "ups" were mighty few,
Our "downs" it seems were many, But we always did pull through.
When "bad spells" seemed to hit us, And the road was hard to trod, We always pulled together,
And put our FAITH IN GOD.
We always seemed to make it When the going was real tough, At times we really had our doubts,
And nearly "had enough." But we all stuck together, Like "peas within a pod," We often pause to say a silent prayer because, We put our FAITH IN GOD.
