Heave Ho, Push, Pull

Sometimes it would seem easier

To crumple weakly and admit

That we fail more than we succeed

It would seem easier to quit

For gain is not an easy fight

We slip and slide, stumble and fall

Still, no matter what odds may seem

To quit is but to lose it all

And so we keep on keeping on

For quitting is to fail in full

One moment at a time, my love

Heave-ho, heave-ho, push-pull, push-pull

Sometimes when life hands us a stinging slap to the face,

A quick fist to the gut,

a hard kick behind the knees

it would seem easier to quit trying so hard,

but to become stronger we need to push against the odds,

not by our own strength and power,

but God's. 

He is faithful...

The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And I am saved from my enemies. Ps. 18:2-3
