Dim were my
Eyes and dimmer yet my
Household sons in their
Sin dishonored holy
Things
I heard the
Word of judgment in the
Nightfall a child re
Ceived the message meant for me
Heavy the
Seat beneath a failing
Father heavy the
Sound of what I could not mend
You still were
Lord when all around me was undoing
You still were
Just when all my strength was
Gone
Though I had
Failed I bowed beneath Your
Sentence saying Your
Will is higher than my
Own
Years I had
Served yet weakness stayed un
Broken near was the
Ark yet far my sons from
Fear
No hand of
Mine could turn the flood that
Followed so I could
Only yield to who You are
Not every
End is wrapped in earthly
Healing some final
Peace is found in humble fear
You still were
Lord when all around me was undoing
You still were
Just when all my strength was
Gone
Though I had
Failed I bowed beneath Your
Sentence saying Your
Will is higher than my
Own
Broken the
Line yet not beyond Your
Sovereign even in
Loss You raise another voice
Out of the
Night You called the boy named
Samuel and through my
Fall Your purpose still moved on
You still were
Lord when all around me was undoing
You still were
Just when all my strength was
Gone
Where I was
Ending Your story kept un
Folding Your holy
Name remained above it
All
God of the
Old and trembling-hearted
Servants teach us to
Bow when none but You can stand
