Under the Circumstance

Joe was an upright man
Who always took a stand
He said I'll serve the Lord
It slipped right through his hand
His houses and his land
Now he could not afford
His wife watched it go
With nothing left to show
Of all they worked to keep
And now the heat was on
Cause everything was gone
He's got his friends and his sheep
She said, Under the circumstance
You oughtta sit down and quit
But Joe just smiled and held his head high
He told her just remember this:
I'm not under the circumstance
I'm out of control
I've turned it over to the one who holds my soul
He gives me peace and power.
It is not up to Chance.
I'm living Life
Cause I'm not under the circumstance.

Some days you lose your song
Sometimes the battle's strong
You think you won't survive
You barely make it through
You wonder what to do
To keep your hopes alive
That's when you rise above
You say you've had enough
You choose to walk by faith
No matter what's in sight
Just like the morning light
You're going to have your day
You see under the circumstance
You oughtta sit down and quit
But just keep a smile and hold your head high
And tell the world remember this:
I'm not under the circumstance
I'm out of control
I've turned it over to the one who holds my soul
He gives me peace and power.
It is not up to Chance.
I'm living Life
Cause I'm not under the circumstance.
Under the circumstance
I'm out of control
I've turned it over to the one who holds my soul
He gives me peace and power.
It is not up to Chance.
I'm living Life
Cause I'm not under the circumstance.
Under the circumstance.
