The Peril

The peril

He sent me to my perils 

I journeyed everyday

in a land of nowhere...

I trod in thorny dark valleys

my flesh worn and torn 

anxiety is everywhere...

I am sailing on a ship

though loads unloaded

but the storms keep raging

in the middle of nothing

where my tears and the rain

become one in falling...

with the chaos of its whirling 

I could not even hear my soul

to the heavens screaming...

'Oh Lord!

My God!'

'Please send your mercy

and calm my storms...

you sent me to this peril

to learn thy Will...

In your heart I have faith

Please stop the haunting winds

and whisper in my soul 

so I may hear your voice

loud and clear

that I may know the purposes

to where you're leading me 

then shall I follow and obey...'
