Oh Lord my Lord

You truly are my rock and my fortress

Why does my body shake?

Why do I feel in such duress

You oh Lord are power

You oh Lord are truth and justice

Why When my spirit leads

Do I tend to miss trust it?

Woe to me as I fear

Where oh where is my faith?

Confusion within clarity

Who am I to ask Why?

My poor wretched mind

Have mercy on me I say

Knowing my Christ bore this burden

And he guides me all the way

Why then in the truth do I doubt

Why then does your voice grow distant

Why does my heart question

As if I didn’t even receive a hint

I know your voice and I follow

I want to turn and run

where is my courage, my boldness

Somewhere beyond the setting sun

Give me power, wisdom, might

I beg you Lord for confidence

Why am I so weak?

Where is my compliance

I look to you Lord in my weakness

You are there for me

You carry me through the valley

I press on towards the mark, to where I am supposed to be

Perseverance and prayer

Courage and power

Your spirit the giver and comforter

To this very hour

Is my vision clear?

Does my heart know?

On my knees I beg to see

Please oh please tell me so
