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
