we come to you on bended knees

we come to you on bended knees
more in our struggles than our joy
we come to you oh God
when we do not understand
when the world, our lives
are beyond our comprehension
when the trials are too much
tragedy unexpected, sudden
bringing us to the cross

help me to lean on you
that I would be yoked to you
conforming my steps to yours
doing your work
it is then that I feel closest
a sense of inner calm
in you alone am I able
to walk on this journey
to face the world around
