FORSAKE

            Do not forsake me, oh my Father
            While I am going through the storm
            I feel abandoned in my cistern
            I need to feel Your presence warm
            I know that it's a time of learning
            To trust my all in You alone
            So as I'm searching for the good things
            Please soften up this heart of stone.

            The little child who lives within me
            Rebels at every twist and turn
            He's guided by his code of ethics
            Your loving touch he needs to learn
            Please can you gently introduce us
            So that together we'll be one
            To reconcile our different aspects
            And learn, in You, to have some fun.
