Life's a Struggle
words by Jim Cleveland, music by Mark Austin

Would the power of love be known without some hate?
If there were no more poor would success be all that great?
If we traveled on easy roads, lived high in plush abodes, would a growth in strenght and purpose be our fate?

Would coming home be sweet with out some sense of loss?
Would all our victories be this good without a cost?
And if answers came without a search, would we prize them very much?
Would you try in life or just bear some dark cross?

Would the springtime seem so good without the cold?
Would a life without some challenge just get old?
And will we always have both sides to help us grow in all that's tried as we watch our path to Heavens gate unfold?

Would our faith be quite this great if we had proof?
Would we find our true romance if all were the same?
Life's a struggle, that is true. That's the Father's plan for you. But not in fear, it's love that's sure to bring you through.
