Would I know the triumph of a victory if I have never suffered a defeat Would I know what its like to be starving hungry if I’ve always had enough to eat How would I know healing and know that I have been made whole if I’ve never felt the pain of a broken heart and soul Would I know the true meaning of love if I have never had feelings of hate How would I learn how to have patience If I’ve never had to wait How would I know the trill of winning if I have never lost Would I know the meaning of sacrifice if I have never had to count the cost How would I know the security of been accepted If I have never known what it felt like to be rejected Would I know what’s its like to really wear a smile If I’ve never had to shed bottles of tears How would I know how to rise up in faith If I have never had to overcome my fears How would I know that I am strong If I have never been weak Would I know how to forgive If no one had ever hurt me I have faced the two extremes The good and the bad my eyes have seen I’ve had smiles and tears throughout my life The two extremes have faced each other in this heart of mine But I am thankful for the joy and pain in every circumstance Because the two extremes have moulded and shaped me to be the person I am I know there will be more extreme circumstances I will yet have to face But I know what ever the circumstance, whether good or bad I will make it through them all, by Gods matchless grace For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future (Jeremiah 29 v 11)
