Regrets about the past
Haunting, unrelenting
Fear of what’s ahead
Sinister, foreboding
I seek a place of comfort
Quiet, calm and restful
Nowhere is free from hurt
Associations painful

Hopes all disappointed
Shattered, cold and empty
Goals left unattained
Never quite forgotten
My God, You promised victory
Strength to overcome
Yet still I stumble daily
Sin my feet ensnares

Struggling to my feet again
Exhausted, near despairing
In weakness I find, at last
A guiding hand

My faith has found a resting place
Tranquil, undisturbed
My soul can rest in peace
Quiet as the dawn
Now at the feet of God
Kneeling, bowing down
Letting Him control me
Obedient submission

In this bondage I am free
Complete, no fears abide
I now bow to it willingly
Eager to be bound
