Dear God, I want so much
To place my trust in you --
But there are times, dear God
I know not what to do.
I feel such pain, and loneliness,
I fear the long dark night --
I wish that I could keep Your face
Forever in my sight --
Then, I'd remember how
Your Son did suffer too,
And how in fear He was
And how He prayed to You.
For He was human as am I,
And knew He'd have to die
He put His trust in You
And never questioned why.
Please, let me be like Him
And follow in His way
I'll place my trust in You, dear God...
...and never cease to pray.
