The Precipice
Under a weeping willow tree,
No one around to comfort Me. I, on the precipice of utter defeat; You, with compassion, came to see.
Wretched, on the cold Death Valley floor. Those glory heights I could not soar. Nothing with love had I to give; Yet You were there holding me still.
With strong and gentle hands of Grace; Inspired by You, I did make haste. The world I could now truly face; Lifting my hands and heart from a daze.
Because You made me brave By Your embrace, I was amazed. My doubts and fears doomed me to fail,
But You enabled me to be strong and sail.
