Resolution
H ow can it be Lord that I yet linger here
A nd may have the chance to see another year?
P ray why am I left alone and still standing?
P ray why is Your will so dour and demanding?
Y esterday I was young; today I am old
N ow a sheep has strayed far away from the fold
E mptied of love, ensnared by the Devil
W asting time while his demons romp and revel
Y es Lord? Oh, I see! I hear Your patient voice
E ach day I'll give thanks, it is simply my choice
A nd climb the steep trail that You cleared just for me
R ejoicing that I'm where You wish me to be
