When all looks amiss
And nobody seems to care,
When life seems intolerable
And nothing looks fair,

God, I find in you, my solace
I believe you would liberate me
Of my forever rising qualms
And make me blithe as blithe can be.

When life looks a tortuous path
With no one leading ahead,
When deceitful people besiege around,
And fill me up with horror and dread,

God, I find in you, my friend
I believe you would protect me
From the atrocious folks
And make me as exultant as exultant can be.

When fear grips over tight
And threaten to agonize time and again,
When all hope seems lost
And all looks futile and vain,

God, I find in you, my hero
I believe you would bestow me
With faith and optimism
And make me as triumphant as triumphant can be.

When hurt and betrayal are on large
All I hear is my faults and quibble,
When my views seem inapt
And ignorance is not possible,

God, I find in you, my savior
I believe you would save me
From all evil in the world
And make me as robust as robust can be.

Make me yours and I will be
A present of sorrows deprive
I believe you are always here
And this belief keeps me alive.
