Song of Praise - Contemporary Poetry

Oh Lord my God,

Who will comfort me?

If not You,

Who shall I turn to?

If not You,

If You do not come to my aid,

What shall become of me?


For it is in You only I trust,

It is only You I rely on.

Therefore, if You leave me,

Who shall I lean on?

To whom shall I turn to?

For evil is before me,

And weak as I am,

I cannot overcome it.


Come to my rescue,

Oh Lord, and prove

Your word to me.

Let the world know and believe

That You love me

And You will never leave me alone.
