glory and grace

as the pain fades away and the water starts to rise
in your glory and your grace will i stand and not cry
even as the tears that fall, gently at your feet
i know and will trust my soul you will keep

you know whats planned for me, and i will entrust my life in you
to see you standing there, afreshed and anew
i need your hand to hold as we run this race together
to seek a place to rest once it settles and tides over

it was never easy, right from the start
you told me then, and i could have left and depart
but i chose to cling on with a childlike faith i'd stand
in the knowledge that someday it will be ok, some things may change, but it will go as planned

ill no longer weep, nor stress, nor let my heart grow colder
for the mucus and slime, i shall wipe on your shoulder
to suck it up and deal with it, i've always proudly proclaimed
i will do just that, my soul's in-check, i will never stand ashamed.
