these are trying times

I’m crawling now
yet trying not to look down
I’m slow yet steady

these are
trying times
these are
crying times

I’m crawling
trying to keep my head up
there behind the clouds
are God’s eyes
and they’re watching me

these are
trying times
these are
crying times

there behind the clouds
is God’s mercy
there beyond the hill
is my dignity and grace

slow and steady wins the race
slow and steady wins the race
