Invictus

Invictus

• Out of the night that covers me,Black as a Pit
  from pole to pole,I thank whatever gods may
  beFor my unconquerable soul.
• In the fell clutch of circumstanceI have not
  winced nor cried aloud,Under the bludgeonings of
  chanceMy head is bloody, but unbowed.

Invictus

• Beyond this place of wrath and tearsLooms but
  the horror of the shade,And yet the menace of
  the yearsFinds, and shall find me, unafraid.
• It matters not how straight the gate,How charged
  with punishments the scroll,I am the master of
  my fateI am the captain of my soul.

My Captain

• Out of the light that dazzles me,Bright as the
  sun from pole to poleI thank the God I know to
  beFor Christ is the conqueror of my soul
• Since His the sway of circumstanceI would not
  wince nor cry aloudUnder the rule which men call
  chanceMy head with joy is humbly bowed

My Captain

• Beyond this place of sin and tearsThat life with
  Him! And His the aid,Despite the menace of the

  cleared my punishment from the scrollChrist is
  the master of my fateChrist is the master of my
  soul

• She was driving last Friday on her way to
  Cincinnati On a snow white Christmas Eve Going
  home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby
  in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was
  running low on faith and gasoline It been a
  long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she
  didn't pay attention

Jesus Take the Wheel

• She was going way to fast Before she knew it she
  was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She
  saw both their lives flash before her eyes She
  didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared
  She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus Take the Wheel

• It was still getting colder when she made it to
  the shoulder And the car came to a stop She
  cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
  sleeping like a rock And for the first time in a
  long time She bowed her head to pray She said
  I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life
  I know I've got to change So from now on
  tonight
