Of fear in relationship, August 2001

Sometimes it's not easy
to speak without fear
and often I wonder
if trouble is near.

When will she see
the sinner in me,
come to her senses
and sensibly flee?

Then I remember that God
is a merciful Dad,
who looked on me when
there was nothing I had.

He held me and said,
"I'll not from you run
nor forsake or forget
nor leave you my son."

Then his peace comes again
and comforts my heart
and tells me though we
might unite or depart

he will be for us ever
a strong faithful friend
for you and me both
for us both till the end.
