Keep this day
Remember every year
Send portions to all
Of your enemies, do not fear

They looked as though they'd destroy you
On the appointed day
Things got turned around on them
God provided an escape

This day you'll remember
As a day that you have rest
From striving with your enemies
Now you can give God your best

I wish this hadn't happened
You may say to yourself
If life was always good it be easier
Without the trials and tests

If life is always perfect
You won't have a chance to grow
If Surprises don't pop up
How you'd react, you don't know

The trying of your faith worketh patience
In patience, possess ye your souls
You must be able to endure to the end
This trying is more precious than gold
