Failures

Every failure you encounter
Is a stepping stone from God,
Meant by Him to make you perfect
And depend more on His Word.

With His purpose clear before you,
Use each failure as a test.
That can make your faith grow stronger,
And you'll never be depressed.

Through each failure God is working;
He won't ever let you down.
With His guidance keep on trying,
And one day you'll wear a crown.
