Doubt consumes me despite your steadfast love,
I am darkened though faithful you may be,
This piercing sorrow when I look above,
Will magnify my present agony.
I long to be free of this chain binding,
To exist unbound and live amidst light,
‘Fore the thread of this man stops unwinding,
‘Fore this vessel capsizes in the night.
My hope, O Father, I place in your Word,
Set this captive free of his own cruel flesh,
In your faithfulness I can be assured,
This sin in my heart, O God, you will thresh.
Your faithfulness is my shield and rampart,
In which I should have trusted from the start.
