{Spoken By Maxs Grandfather}
C G
"You know, when I've looked back on my life in hindsight,
D Em
it's given me a tremendous perspective on humility
G C
If we forget the past, we forfeit the present
G
-and we don't prepare for the future
C Em D
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the confidence of things not seen'
G
-from where I am now and where I
want to go in the future
D Em
So that when we look back over our life-whether it's photographs
G C G
or, you know, in hindsight-Providence is the hand
Em
of God in the glove of circumstances
D
I think it's just so simple, but it's so profound."
