The darkness of diminishing faith. |
I seek him and grow weary My life yearns for the dust of the grave Joy no longer is with me Where is he who saves My prayers go unheeded Alone I fight to believe And though I know not if he is with me I don't think he would deceive Can trust endure forever Will faith deliver my anguished soul Love mourns its loss inside me And my heart has turned so cold Evil doth flourish and prosper Righteousness can not be viewed My soul waivers in it's hope As his word is readily eschewed How long the saints do wonder Will judgement never come Like them I'm tried with patience As time continues to numb Magnificent was his creation Such purpose with life's desire Where is this person I once was Who hath quenched that inner fire Now behold the depth of darkness The loathing of my distress Poverty is my communion The pit all I may bequest Remove me from the living Let shame of flesh be no more In the balance am I judged My lack I can not endure Woe to the dreams once mine And riches to make content Their odor to me is foul For there virtue has all been spent Call forth for me I ask you Let not nature end my days Take me before tomorrow Stop this needless pain Don't leave me here without you And hide your face away You are the who I seek The I am the ancient of days |
