If but once the trembling heart might lie
as waters still sit the waiting pool....Then
might the soul not cry..as freedom reigns
and brave thoughts rule.

Oh give to me the sinewed might, the
voice of calm and grains of sand, that I
might quell the rending fright and bring
to palm a strength of hand...

My knees, they rest the cool hard stone
before thee Lord, I bow to thee. My
heart does beat against these bones
before thee Lord, on bended knee.

I ask in silent thought a wish that once
the day might bring, the chorus sung
of angel’s song...alone I stand, I wish
to sing.

Leave not my fear to conquer me, let not
the cries resound the cliff...leave not the
doubt of destiny....as I stand wavering
from this rift...
