But for the Lord this road remains lonely,
The one I knew is not there.
I see the Lord as my First and only,
My heart faces this life's dare.
Much more is mine a greater peace,
I have my long-known Friend.
Delight's in You, don't want it to cease,
You have willed what would end.
I present this paraded heart,
To You, Who cares for me.
It is You Who'll never part,
You're most true, this I see.
I am blue, while joy is mine.
It's source is Your Son.
Like golden ore, to be refined,
Being made true by being undone.
You are wise to love this fool,
This heart small of frame.
This lesson I've learned is my jewel
In You I will remain.
