But for all those who are still struggling and life seems to get too
hard to live, and when you've trusted Jesus and walked His Way, when
you've felt His Hand lead you day by day but your steps now take you
another way, start over.


When you've made your plans and they've gone awry; when you've tried
your best and there's no more try. When you've failed yourself and
you don't know why, start over.


When you've told your friends what you plan to do; when you've
trusted them and they didn't come through, and now you're all alone
and it's up to you, start over.


When you've failed your children and they're grown and gone; when
you've done your best but it's turned out wrong and now your
grandchildren have come along, start over.


When you've prayed to God so you'll know His Will; when you've prayed
and prayed and you don't know still. When you want to stop because
you've had your fill, start over.


When you think you're finished and want to quit; when you've bottomed
out in life's deepest pit; when you've tried and tried to get out of
it, start over.


When the year has been long and successes few, when December comes
and you're feeling blue, God gives a January just for you, start over.


Starting over means "Victories Won;" starting over means "A Race Well
Run;" starting over means "The Lord's Will Be Done;" starting over
means "God Loves You As You Are;" so take heart ... and please START
OVER!
