Only You
As I watch the world around me begin to crumble
I feel my feet beginning to weaken beneath me
I see no point in holding on until the end
because in the end there is nothing but sorrow, grief, and despair
I can feel myself sinking
My feet have almost reached the bottom of this overwhelming pit of anguish
And just then I hear your divine words-
"Do not be be afraid, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God
is with you wherever you go"-
And these words sustain me
It is only your tenderness, your fortitude
that make my days of endless darkness ever so bright
And for that, may your name forever be positioned on my lips
It is only You that gives me strength
It is only your mercy and goodness
that keeps me clinging to this life so full of sorrow
When I hear Your consoling voice saying,
"Joy will come in the morning"
I am able to say that I will fear no evil
I now know that I live only because of You
and You are the only thing I can't live without
