Misery

I am but so small and so weak
But still You readily give me strength
Sometimes I'm so powerless
You know it and You fill me up


I think no one else knows me
And all the things they cannot see
But even with the curtains drawn
You know everything that's going on


The best of me without You will fall
Sorrow comes and to Your feet I crawl
Though times I may want to give up
You still stay and You never doubt


In Your perfect purity
Even the light seems dark
How can I praise Your name
How can misery reach Your perfection?


But You still want me
You still love me
You hold on to me and cover me with Your hand
Take away my misery
So that I can be
more like You
Worship You still
