Verse I:

As the clouds pass over the trees

So have the days of my life
I'm all grown up
And nowhere close to my dreams

Happiness seems evasive
Feels like hope has drained out of me
With a self-fulfilled prophecy

Of the people who doubted me
My life wasn't the fairest,
Born from a crumbling marriage

And since my days in the carriage
Always screwed up and got careless
Often told I was hopeless

And out the door went my focus
I just existed and wasted breath
And went through life's motions

But my mother delineated
the importance of having faith
In the God who created me

with a purpose and no mistake
If I learned anything in life
From the things I don't understand

That whatever I can't control
Is better left in the Master's hands


Chorus:

I made the choice to put it all

in God's hands,
God's hands (4x)


Verse II:

People won't be fair

Point fingers, mock, and judge
As if they're so much better
They're not worthy of trust

I live in one dimension
And pray into the next
His grace is what sustains me

Every trial, every test
I know I'm far from perfect
But in Him I am complete

He's always been my Shepherd
So I have all I need
Giving Him thanks for all the

blessings I have,
In spite of the fact I may
not be where I wanna be

But I am better off
Than I was yesterday
Another mountain top

I've reached

Chorus
