Passing Through

When I lose my courage
He gives me hope
when I lose my footing
He gives me steady ground

Whenever I stumble
He is there
whenever I’m weak
He becomes my strength

Who am I
without Him
What do I do
without His love

This terrible longing within me
is killing me
this aching for true love
bids me to come home soon

O how sick am I with love
how the desire for His vision consumes me
when will my suffering ever end
when shall love be mine forever

yet let me not depart
for mine own good alone
and let me not forget
this valley of tears
let my pain be a balm to the wounded
and let my wounds bring life to the faint
heal me and sustain me that I may yet smile also in joy
and that I may bring some light to those living in the darkness

in sorrow do we journey forth
yet in hope do we trust and regain our strength
in weeping do we remember our afflictions
yet in prayer do we rejoice for our eternal home!
