“When my spirit is failing within me,
still, Lord, you know my paths.” ~ Psalm 142:4
The middle of the day
is dead of night to me,
the evening even more;
But Lord, you know my heart,
my mind, my soul; you are near me
upon this desolate shore.
When everything is darkness,
when everyone has fled
and I am left alone,
You, Lord, are my comfort,
the rock
upon which I build my home.
And though you seem to hide,
to forget,
to care not where I go,
Each morning I awake,
I remember,
it is you whom I should love more.
For it is you who brings the morning,
brings the sun
and wakes my soul,
You who lifts my spirit,
calms my mind,
and makes me whole.
