Paryss

I look back at the road that I’ve walked

Living out the prayers that I always talked

Two thousand and two, got my Bachelor's degree

Building a foundation for the woman I'd be

Two thousand and eight, walking down the aisle

Down-to-earth spirit with a joyful smile

May '09, holding my first baby tight

September MBA, studying through the night

God is able to make all grace abound

When my world was shaking, He kept me on the ground

So in all things, at all times, having all I need

I will abound in every good work, I will plant the seed

Thank God for His mercy, thank God for His light

Paryss, you're a survivor, stepping out the night

Twenty-twelve brought a second little heartbeat

Making this family beautifully complete

Autism Spectrum for my beautiful two

But they are flourishing, wrapped in the love we knew

I kept my patience, kept my motherly grace

A respectful heart and a smile on my face

Through the heavy days, I kept it funny and kind

Leaving all the worry and the shadows behind

God is able to make all grace abound

When my world was shaking, He kept me on the ground

So in all things, at all times, having all I need

I will abound in every good work, I will plant the seed

Thank God for His mercy, thank God for His light

Paryss, you're a survivor, stepping out the night

Then the storm came crashing, twenty-twenty-two

Ovarian cancer, but the Lord pulled me through

Three years in remission, but the trials didn't stop

Over ten surgeries, but I refuse to drop

Twenty-twenty-three, a mini-stroke took my stride

Wheelchair-bound for months, but my faith was my guide

Now I'm out the chair, yeah, I'm walking on my own

Standing on the mercy that I have always known

Four years of battles, but look at me today

I'm still standing strong, let the praises play

Second Corinthians, chapter nine, verse eight

Written on my spirit, lifting every weight

I'm a living testimony of a love so deep

Resting in the promises the Lord will keep

God is able to make all grace abound

When my world was shaking, He kept me on the ground

So in all things, at all times, having all I need

I will abound in every good work, I will plant the seed

Thank God for His mercy, thank God for His light

Paryss, you're a survivor, shining oh so bright

Yeah, in all things, at all times, I have all I need!
