In the Fragility of Dreams
In the fragility of dreams indeed
Amidst reality’s tenacity
I seek Christ Who knows my soul’s very need
In all aspects by His truth-certainty.
Conscious of my frailty and finiteness
In the fragility of dreams indeed
My heart clings to God for His graciousness
Who can turn my hopes toward fruitful deed.
Though in frustration-angst, my soul does bleed
When I fail during human nature bouts
In the fragility of dreams indeed
Humbling, I implore the Lord against doubts.
With faith* anchored upon Almighty’s brace
Propelled to pursue sowing kindness seed
My life He props as challenges I face
In the fragility of dreams indeed.
*1Peter 1:21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
