Your Faithfulness Is My Fortress
Here again
My heart’s ink running through this pen
Angst beyond what I can take
Sorrow, impossible to break
In surrender and repentance, asking for a truce
Can't do it alone, and without you what’s the use?
I come to you Lord in my distress
Because your faithfulness is my fortress
Though my feet anchored my stay,
My heart and mind led me a stray
Chasing whims and momentary dreams
I lost the joy of my salvation,
Forgot your loving restoration
The smoke and mirrors show ended,
But what I tried to fix never mended
So here I sit, where truth and disappointment meet
Gathering the broken pieces, I seek your face
Bringing to mind your steadfast grace
With no strength left in me,
I’m overtaken by your divinity
Knowing my weary soul can rest
Because your faithfulness is my fortress
