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.
