Without You
What else can I do?
I have arrived at the point
Where reality dawns on me
That I cannot function
If I do not possess your unction

Trusting you has made me see
What you allow is all I can be
What is a vehicle without its engine?
Or a building without its foundation?

You are the very essence of life
Your absence is full of sadness and strife
Even when I dont measure up
You remind me your love for me wont stop

I know you always look out for me
In your time I will become what you want me to be
When dissenting tongues wag against me
Your actions silence them permanently

When the world on me looses hope
You make me the chief corner stone
When society calls me unclean
You make me chaste with hyssop you have gleaned

In my weakness you are my strength
In my darkness you shine exceedingly bright
In my confusion you are my peace
In my lack you provide perpetually

What then am I outside you?
A revelation so true
If I am to survive
My love for you must surely thrive
My Father, rescuer and confidant
Living is nothing if it is without you.
