Land Of Many Troubles

Theirs: lifted from me and forgiven

And most of all

It all

My own: my own and put to rest

Retrieved in the balance

And my unrequested misfortune

My foolishness, my ignorance

Irretrievably broken on the rocks of my lot

One I had feared hopelessly torn

In his redemption of a life

I participate in it with thankfulness

The Author of Grace and Truth

Handed down by my Creator

To receive my promised land

I have settled to witness my restoration

Another harsh desert

The wilderness within

In the place I despaired my ruin

While I crouched and crawled through

This desert without in which I have wandered
