I'm a tough learner
Lessons don't come easy
But I have a loving teacher
Who has patience with me


Jesus teaches me through life
What's right and what's wrong
He teaches me through trials
How to hang on


Hang on to my dream
Of having the faith of a child
That wide eyed innocence
That says, "This problem is mild"


My Father can do it
He can do all things
With this problem
A solution He'll bring


He will fix all that's wrong
He will wave His strong hand
He will be true to His word
He will give His command


And all will be well
Life will go on as before
But with one major difference
The enemy won't be at my door


My Father is Awesome
He'll chase away the flames
Of all hell broken loose
In my life


He'll bring peace to my heart
Strength to my loins
More faith to my spirit
He'll help me to keep going


Life's problems are minor
When left in His hands
So why do I worry?
Why does doubt take a stand?


I don't know the why's
But I leave this too with Him
He's the author of my life
He's the breaker of my sin


He'll break me of this sinful nature
He'll help me to grow
Through the many trials I live
He helps me to know


That I'm a tough learner
Lessons don't come easy
But I have a loving teacher
Who has patience with me


And when my Father's done
I'll have the faith of a child
That wide eyed innocence
That says, "This problem is mild"
Thank you and Praise you Jesus!!
