un certainty
Life is a blur of our own worries and others’ grief
– A life of sickness and strife, suddenly too brief –
The uncertainty of visas, mocked by the certainty of death,
From court to home to funeral to office – out of breath.
Oh breathe on me Spirit of God, resuscitating life-fire
Sustain my bones-heart-mind, through misery’s mire
Of tears from heaven, damp inside and all around:
Muddy alleys, muddy mind, seek solace where it’s found.
In You I shelter from this torment,
In You I will hide, rage, lament,
I surrender my pretence to Your gaze of grace,
Deliverance to bear Your yoke in Your embrace.
