IF LIFE

            If life was as it should be
            And everything was great
            There was no catastrophe
            Arriving at our gate
            Perhaps we would cease praying
            And do it all ourselves
            We'd leave our blessed saviour
            Lying idly on the shelf.

            But life, it can be dangerous
            You never can fortell
            Today you may be heavenly
            Tomorrow, down in hell
            So during times of plenty
            When everything is fine
            Remember who provided you
            With such a prosperous time.
