How eagerly I jump out
Full of faith devout
Yet when my feet hit the sea
Doubt provokes my panicked plea
How quickly confidence fades
Inviting all these waves
So suddenly you shrink
Eclipsed by my uncertainty
How promptly I fall asleep
When the watch I need keep
Prayer vows are so easy to break
When my desires are at stake
How hastily I lop off ears
When to me your plan is not clear
I create a bloody mess
Instead of entering your rest
How swiftly I flee in fear
I deny you when they sneer
Refuse to call you my friend
Though I swore fealty to the end
How exhausted you must be
With this fickle fool that is me
I can’t seem to hit it half the time
But that work is not mine
How patiently you repeat
You invite to feed your sheep
From broken vessels made of clay
You build your Church for your display
So I believe that you’re not done
That the work of the Son
Is alive so I will see
All you’ve made me to be
