Nothing Before It's Time
How often do we plan our lives
In the will of our own hands
Just wanting things to happen,
In our own way, as quick as it can
We want everything right now
No matter what cost we must pay
And when it turns to failure,
We ask God to deliver us from dismay
See, no matter how hard we push
and demand in life, to make our own climb,
It's Gods Will to follow...
Nothing is never before it's time.
