Wrestling Before the Knife, written early Jan 12, 2011
While others before me have gone
through faith their fears have flown;
my own burdens I unjustly compare
with them should dispel my own despair;
I know not why I worry and toil;
why is it not well with my soul?
I lie here, frightened and ask,
Am I not saved by His Grace?
Do I not really believe
on Him who did reprieve?
Do I really ask for forgiveness
for the sins of my life's mess?
Before him should I be bold?
Is it not well with my soul?
And so, even Jesus asked
that the cup from Him be abast.
I wish the same and without shame
do hereby give my life, my body, my soul
to Him and pledge anew to be whole,
so that peace is like a still water,
through the valley of death I will not falter,
He comforts me from the cold;
He brings me into the fold;
at last it is well with my soul!!!
Thank you so much for your prayers.
In His Precious Name,
al
