23


If the Lord was not my Savior,
I would always be lonely and lost.
My shelter would not be homely, and
I would always live without peace.

I would be rebellious and self-willed,
And my soul would be forever restless.
I would not understand righteousness,
And I would dread having to die one day.

I would not have comfort but always fear.
I would have no protection from my enemies,
Nor ever be overwhelmed with God's tender touch.

For most of my life, I would reap everything
that I have sown, seldom receiving any mercy,
And my finality would be one of hopelessness.
