So Good to Know
Commissioned Lyrics

We saw you a year ago
It has been a year since the last time we saw you

At the convention
We saw you at a conference or gathering

You were flying high not to mention
You were doing well and seemed to be thriving

Your testimony was strong
You spoke powerfully about your faith

You even stood up and sang a song
You confidently shared your musical gifts with us

Knowing full and well that this is not a ritual
You were aware that this was not just a routine or habit

Your walk with Christ was spiritual
Your relationship with Jesus was authentic and meaningful

Bible in one hand track in the other
You were prepared to share the Gospel with others

A witness in the streets, but oh my brother
You boldly proclaimed your faith to those around you

What happened, did you miss the mark?
What went wrong, did you fall short of your goals?

Did you fall short?
Did you fail to meet the expectations you had for yourself?

You say the race is not fun
You are struggling with finding joy in your journey of faith

What hinders you now, that you do not run?
What is holding you back from fully pursuing your faith?

I know you've heard it said if at first you don't succeed
You have likely been told that it's okay to fail and try again

Get back up and try it again
Don't give up, keep trying

But it's easier to say than it is to get it done
It's easier to give advice than to actually follow it

You just keep on praying
Keep talking to God in prayer

You just keep on staying
Keep holding on and persevering

You'll find out that you can be the one
You can overcome your challenges with God's help

You will never give in to the devil's call
You will resist temptation and stay faithful to God

You'll be ready to get up when you take a fall
You will bounce back from failures or setbacks

Now you should've known, you are not alone
You should remember that God is always with you

I know that sometimes it gets hard
I understand that you face difficulties

To stand your ground
To hold onto your beliefs and convictions

You remember, never give in
You should remember to not give up or give in to temptation

Look up to God he is your help
Seek God's guidance and support

Oh, he knows your weakness and he'll provide a way of escape
God understands your struggles and will provide a way out

Just keep on praying for you'll find
Continue to pray and you will discover

Quitters never win
Giving up on your faith will never bring you victory

Winners don't give in
Those who overcome challenges always keep going

You just wait on him, you will find
Trust in God's timing and you will see results

Promises are true
God keeps his promises

What he says he'll do
God will follow through on his promises

Mr. Christian, Mrs. Saint
Fellow believers in Christ

We said you can don't say you can't
We have faith in you and believe you can overcome

It's not the one who finished first my friend
Winning is not always about being first

But it's the one who makes it to the end
Those who endure until the end are the true winners

So go on and confess up your debt is paid
Confess your sins and accept God's forgiveness

And go and clean the mess up that you made
Seek to make things right and make amends

It's not a license to sin, but one to get free
God's grace is not permission to continue sinning, but an opportunity for redemption

I told you time and again you got the victory
I have reminded you repeatedly that you are already victorious in Christ

Get back, Get back, Get back up in the saddle
Get back up and keep going, even when it's tough

Oh, get on up
Get up and keep moving forward

Oh, giddy up
Get motivated and excited about what's ahead

A just man falls but a few times
Even good people face challenges and failures

But he gets back up with the right mind
But he gets up with a positive attitude and determination
