things could have been different
things could have been worse
life happens to you and
it can\' t be rehearsed
i do what i can and
let God do the rest
i won\' t settle for less
don\' t suggest second best



a wonderful worldwide wave
i\' m glad i can ride on the crest
a refuge for every slave
for rugged old ravens a nest
there\'s freedom here to enjoy
and peace that\'s been bought with blood
there\'s beauty beyond belief
forgiveness and love from God



some things can\' be bought with
your silver or gold
some things won\' t add up
in the stuff you\' ve been told
equations, frustration
the questions remain
your own calculations
have messed up your brain



if you look at a meadow
on a bright summer day
you can trace someone bigger
as the warm, wild wind plays
with the grass and the flowers
and the beautiful birds
there is miracle power
in His touch and His Word
