Climbing the Heights

What ere a day may come

What ere a day may come
What ere the hour
And breadth 
Of its sum

Thy will alone be done
For fear too long hath
Fooled me
And debted me
Of dreams

For where desire 
Is delighted in you
And ere a heart may
Sing anew

Thy praise
Thy glory
Shall be
My story

For too long my path 
Hath plummeted in vain
And I had nothing in me
To gain

Till once again
Thy mercy awakened
My heart ne'er forsaken
My soul set free

Oh savior and king
May come this joy
If thy will it employ 
Save not my will
But thine be done

And so shall see
The night to fall
And the dawn
Turn spring

-Joshua Lee Foist
