It all started when

I decided to be bold

to ask You for faith

and give me that perfect mold

You didn't take long

to answer with 'yes'

You granted me more

while it felt like less

I didn't understand

why You'd allow such sore

but looking back now

I got what I asked for

the trial continues

unto this day

Your taking me deeper

so it may stay

help me count it all joy

no matter what the price

I shall endure this test

to make me more like Christ.
