If everything was smooth I’d never grow
Hardship is hard but truly valuable lessons flow
So I adjust my belt knowing Jesus is in and with me
Even if it appears the tank is empty
All for the finish line flag and holy celebration
Praying without ceasing applied acceleration
All things in order by the sovereign Almighty God
Bad times don’t mean rejection affirming nod
If everything was smooth I’d never grow
You’d never see the light of Christ within grow and glow.
