Of this heart and mind
Grant me faith to find
My hope is in you
In the dark that overcomes
And the drums that beat
Louder and louder within
So fill me and bring peace
From all that would compete
For your affections
May these imperfections
See my need
Within the shadows
Surround this silouette
And shine thy light
May it be
A delight
To the soul
Set free
This canopy of faith
Is found in thee
Who shines through
The shadows
Of this misery
For joy thou art
My song anew
So keep my eyes
Upon thy giver
Too
That for all the doubts
That poison my mind
Pull back the curtains
And reveal thy truth
May it ever shine
This hope divine
Is not in vain
For thou hast
Taken the pain
And made it thine
That life may be borne
Of you who
Took the shame
For thy life
Becomes my own
When I surrender
To thy throne
-Joshua Lee Foist
