I feel just like an eagle scout earning merit badges of life
Some I get from doing good or some from enduring worldly strife
Our scout master is our loving God who helps us find the way
A life lesson here, a trial there so we’ll all be Eagle Scouts one day
I earn some from the widow by helping her to cross the street
I earn some from the neighbor, being friendly as we meet
Some are earned from broken hearts, a death can earn some more
But you’ll never earn near enough with your feet stoned to the floor
All these badges we earn from life come from Him so great and wise
All the hard times we’re going through are just opportunities in disguise
None are earned from giving up or quitting when it’s tough
But trying hard to do your best, to God it’s good enough
