Into the day that reveals me,
White as the lamp from every side
I blame the Powers that I imagine
For the defeat that claims my very being.
White as the lamp from every side
I blame the Powers that I imagine
For the defeat that claims my very being.
In the caring arms of the whole plan
I have winced and cried aloud.
Amid the triumphs of destiny
My head is dizzy and bowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms a life I cannot control,
And my attempts through the years
Find me inadequate and full of doubt.
Find me inadequate and full of doubt.
It greatly matters how wide the opening,
How detailed the responsibilities the path,
I need not change my circumstance,
A Higher Power controls my will, my life.
