The world swamps to know me in my light
Flees from my darkness
Through them both You walk beside me, oh God
You alone remain; always
But I am tempted by beauty
I am tested and I stumble blind
I fall like a rock to the bottom of the ocean
Where is the fortitude I boast of?
I urgently call to You, Father!
Give me the strength to extricate myself
Grant me the wisdom to seek You first and the world after
That I may not stray from the teachings of my youth
In my weakness Your grace never left me
Your love for me - a mere blip in the scheme of things
Transcends infinity
Yet resembles the simplicity of a child's
Can I truly declare You as my one desire?
How differently my soul professes!
Give me resilience in the battle of my mind
In the stillness of my soul, console me
