Why’d you put this dream in me and not make it reality? I don’t understand it. Instead, I’m lost in misery nursing wounds and injury. Is this how you planned it? In a world of why and a swirl of shame, I try to ease my whirling pain. In the midst of doubt on a sea of fear, is it enough for me to know you’re here?

Why in the world would I turn this way when even the winds and the sea obey? I can’t hear your voice. Instead, at the moment when I feel weak, you seem to be in the stern asleep. How can you not hear the noise? In a world of why and a swirl of shame, I try to ease my whirling pain. In the midst of doubt on a sea of fear, is it enough for me to know you’re here?

Why does this race have no finish line except for the grave for my faith that’s dyin’? I get turned around. Instead of reward all I see is debt, so I cling to the words you’re not finished yet. When will I be found? In a world of why and a swirl of shame, I try to ease my whirling pain. In the midst of doubt on a sea of fear, is it enough for me to know you’re here?

You say you’re here and you care for me. In a world of why I can simply be.
