Poured out
Fine powder
Blown about
Wilting flowers
Thistles bloom
Four horsemen
Tearing through
Stoney wall
Icy gale
Empty heart
Silent jail
Lamentation
Soul to bear
Mind unmended
Sleepless care
Flooding grief
Can it be
I am loved
You love me?
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
Seven devils
Crouching low
Fires burning
Darkened stone
Vain to run
Hopeless fight
Tightening noose
Loss of sight
Slough of despond
Shelob’s Lair
Waiting death
Webs of despair
No escape
No relief
Lying serpent
Beguiles belief
Torn between
I have to choose
One step to fall
And all to lose
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
Waking Phial
Piercing sword
I know that voice
Amid the horde
Gentle staff
Ray of song
Shepherd’s rod
To him belong
Rattling bones
Breath of air
Standing soldier
Shield to bear
Quaking heart
My flesh may fail
But him my cup
In this world pale
He found me out
He bought me dear
His treasure now
His kingship here
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
Bearing grit
Hidden decay
Christ does sit
Enthroned today
And I am told
My ears to hear
That this world’s light
Does not compare
Though I see not
Beyond the veil
Where empty tomb
He does not lay
Through blurry eyes
I stagger now
I must believe
And wait the hour
When painless pearl
I hope to be
If I await
One day to see
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
Piercing sword
I know that voice
Amid the horde
Gentle staff
Ray of song
Shepherd’s rod
To him belong
Rattling bones
Breath of air
Standing soldier
Shield to bear
Quaking heart
My flesh may fail
But him my cup
In this world pale
He found me out
He bought me dear
His treasure now
His kingship here
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
Bearing grit
Hidden decay
Christ does sit
Enthroned today
And I am told
My ears to hear
That this world’s light
Does not compare
Though I see not
Beyond the veil
Where empty tomb
He does not lay
Through blurry eyes
I stagger now
I must believe
And wait the hour
When painless pearl
I hope to be
If I await
One day to see
Please forgive me
Forget the past
This present me
Cannot last
