So many things are out of my control (I can't control)

Finding strength and renewal through praise and gratitude.
Speak on how you made a way
-That's how I rejuvenate
-Ouuuuu oh

Sunday to Sunday (oh yea)

I'm thankful that one day (the truth)
-I can say honestly
Recognizing the constant presence of goodness and mercy.
I began to understand what it means
-That surely goodness and mercy (the two)
Continuation of acknowledging divine support throughout the week.
Shall follow me (they do)
-All the days of the week
Affirmation of the continuous presence of divine guidance.

-But I'm so glad my God is enough (oh, from empty to enough)
-More than enough to provide for me
-The rest that I need for the rest of the week (he gotcha)
