The dark descends upon my soul
I query if I’ve met my goal
I cannot know until the end
If I have been both foe and friend.
For in my passion I have found
At times we all may run aground
I never meant to lose my way
And I have nothing more to say,
Except that God is always there
In peace or war or bleak despair
And pray His grace be with us all
If we survive or if we fall !
