Anticipation
A Mustang, Camaro or Maybe a Vette

 

          Thank you Lord for saving my soul

        Maybe I’ll play in the Super Bowl

        I’m awfully excited about what I’ll get 

 A Mustang a Camaro or maybe a Vette
 
 I wonder Lord if an automobile
        Could actually be part of the deal
        The payments enormous the insurance extreme
        I can’t afford to buy coffee, sugar or cream
         
        How shallow of me to think that you are
        Given praise for the actions of a superstar
        No tribulation is the way of the cross
        Its trials, temptation, suffering and loss      
         
        Okay Lord, now watch me endure
        I know that I am now quite mature
        Enough is enough Lord when will it end
        Don’t you think its time for my ship to come in?
 
        Now I understand it, history will say
        He was quite faithful, he walked in the way
        He fought a good fight he finished his course
        He rides into heaven on a great white horse
         
        Lord you know I’m so alone
        It’s seems I’m forgotten before I’m gone
        You are my shield and my exceeding great reward;
        My constant companion; my savior and Lord.
 
        Now Lord I face life’s final test
        What if there is not a land of peace joy and rest?
        What if the story is just a crutch for the weak
        To get them from the valley to the next peak?
 
        What’s this I feel, it has an old familiar ring
        The Sun of God rising with healing in his wings 
        I feel him now with me, I’m sure it’s the Lord
        He tells me he loves me, to just trust his word
 
        This is the deepest valley I’ve ever been in
        But my faith is stronger than it’s ever been
        I’m lifted up beyond all fear and doubt
        I hear the angels singing and starting to shout
 
        I sit in an arena alongside the heroes of faith
        We applaud those that are still running the race
        I see a new runner I never have met
        I hear him say Lord I’m excited about what I’ll get.
        A Mustang, Camaro or maybe a Vette
