Try
I am not going to die
Without having tried
What they say is a lie
I'll keep my eyes to the sky
Though what I see is beyond reach
I'll stretch out my arms and God beseech
Blessings rain down and I'll count each
To those who doubt, I'll have something to teach
I give myself to destiny
With all my heart I will believe
Crouched down on bent knee
Please God give me what I need
I need to know and find my way
Sand in the glass drains away
All I may have is today
Please God give me the words to say
And shut my ears to those I hear
Give me the peace that defeats fear
Lift me up, wipe away my tears
Let me know that you are near
Time is short, but I will not fail
To new shores I now set sail
Come lightning, rain, wind and hail
With Your strength I know I will prevail
