I Am Not As Though a Drowning Moth

I am not as though  a drowning moth,
within the flooding flow.
Hopelessness can have no place,
within the ones who know.

Who am I to give all up,
when tried and tested through?
He didn't bring me from where I'd been,
for me to quit this too.

There is a purpose for my life.
Breath was not snatched away.
No exploding heart nor bleeding brain
was in the plans he made.

I will not be overcome,
for my God is with me.
Nothing shall overpower,
Christ, who won the victory.
