*** 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.
