Guided by faith and peace, the path is clear

I find that nothing shall overcome me,

But in my new soul is anxiety

Like the bitter cold, I’m frozen with fear.

But then I request, “Won’t You please draw near?

Truly if You my Friend ever to be

Why then You seem to hide when I need Thee?”

Taking the Heat, I fail to persevere.

In my pain Your goodness comes back to mind

Like a ray of light, then I find cause in

This moment of lapse, for it is not one,

But a chance for me to be redefined

By the standards of my Guide, from within

I am changed; I’m thankful I am His son.
