Though waves wash over me,
Though fire surround me,
Though my enemies attack me from every side,
My eyes, O Lord, stay fixed on You.
There is no other way.
There is no other how.
There is only You, only You, only You.
Though I weep uncontrollably in my failure to understand,
Something in me refuses to let go of You.
I cannot because there is no other I can turn to,
No other worth bowing to,
No other worth clinging to.
In all my weaknesses and failures,
I can only be me,
And I…
I trust You somehow that I cannot explain.
I believe in You, Lord God,
Creator of heaven and earth.
