I've heard it said most all my life
That the third time is the charm
Good and bad things come in threes
Often leaving us disarmed
My third time arrived today
Can't say I was caught off guard
I aim to muster up my courage
Though I know it will be hard
Thinking back eight years ago
And the time I probably wasted
My mind refuses to feel regret
There's so much life I haven't tasted
All my strength comes from my God
And though my life still goes awry
I'll hold to His unchanging hand
I'm not ready to say, "Good-bye."
Sometimes I lead; sometimes I lean
Guess this is a good occasion
When I must do a lot of leaning
As others resolve the equation
I place myself in God's capable hands
As I battle with body and soul
To rid myself of the monster
And, once again, be victoriously whole
