A step, a fall
I rise to fly.
A sit, asleep
I wake to work.
I fly to heights unseen
Uphigh, that low.
I work ernestly
So hard, un-noticed.
All I do,
All I give.
Almighty I for-seek.
So I seek and found;
A step, a fall
Hope, He besieges upon me
with each breath taken.
I rise to fly
For He is my Strenght.
A sit, asleep
In His hands my burdens I leave
His laps my comfort.
I wake to work
For His Grace abounds.
I fly to heights unseen
On His wings I soar.
Uphigh, that low
My upsets He trends to propel
high.
I work ernestly
Only He rewards my real wage.
So hard, un-noticed
His consent is more than
enough.
All I do,
All I give.
Almighty I found.
