Voice in the Crowd
Success by God
Not in gold or fame I rise,
But in the light of heaven’s skies.
Success, they say, is wealth and a throne
Yet God has made His way my own.
When storms would steal my breath away,
He calmed the winds; He made a way.
While others climbed with pride and speed,
I knelt in prayer, and He would lead.
My hands are not the source alone,
For every gift is from His throne.
He wrote my path, He held my hand,
He taught me how to stand truly.
Not every door I sought swung wide,
But grace was always at my side.
He closed some gates, He broke my plans,
To place me in His perfect hands.
I’ve learned success is not just about gain,
But walking through both joy and pain
Still trusting God when times are dim,
And giving all the praise to Him.
Now when I stand on mountain high,
I lift my voice, not just my eye:
"All glory, Lord, belongs to You,
For every victory, pure and true."
