-- Into Your Mercy I Do Surrender --

­­John Herlihy

 

Of questions our soul may ask,

An answer that endures to last.

On what should I put my trust?

Whither may I go where I must?

Into Your mercy I do surrender,

Infinite blessings I do remember.

A path be found in lasting belief,

Uncertainty is finally given relief.

In making way into the unknown,

The light of truth as threads sewn.

Our lives solidify into a solid base,

Our journey maintains steady pace.

The alternative never to be desired,

Lost amid unresolved doubt mired.

Doubt does run effective interference. I've struggled with bouts of doubt regularly over the years. Your piece is like a prayer John. Touching. Thank you for sharing. r
