He said he wanted my today

and would earn it by traveling

through sunrays into our yesterdays

taking away uncertainty and sorrow

thereby freeing our tomorrow

from inhibition and pain

told me He would return my tears to the rain

severing me from the weight of disdain

and the memory of a hurtful past

the loving me to restoration at last

He said, He was the truth I had been seeking

that without Him as the light

I would never find the way

He said I only had to say

His name

and my life would never be the same

I wanted to believe but my fear kept me blind

my textbook philosophy was holding me behind

until I looked around

frustrated and puffing breath

when He said: there is a way that seems right to a man

but its end is a way of death.

it took me no time to understand that I was wrong

that He had had to weaken me

in order to make my faith strong

so now when friends ask what happened to me

I say: in Him I am fulfilled for all eternity
