*** Chorus
A C D F
A straight line exists between me and the good things.
A C D F
I have found the line and its direction is known to me.
A C D F
Absolute trust keeps me going in the right direction.
A C D F
Any intrusion is met with a heart full of the good thing.

G Em G Em G Em G Em
Try to compare what I am presenting.
G Em G Em G Em G Em
You will meet with much frustration.
G Em G Em G Em G Em
Try to find ... similar situation.
G Em G Em G Em G Em
You will always find the same solution.
A C D F
As the heart finds the good thing, the feeling is multiplied.
A C D F
Add the will to the strength and it equals conviction.
A C D F
As we economise, efficiency is multiplied,
A C D F
To the extent I am determined the result is the good thing.
So I say:
Gm F
I have adopted this and made it my own:
Gm F
Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
Gm F
I have adopted this and made it my own:
Gm F
Cut back the weakness, reinforce what is strong.
