You struggled blindly for my soul
And wept for me such bitter tears,
That through your faith my faith grew whole
And fearless of the coming years.
For in the path of doubt and dread
You would not let me walk alone,
But prayed the prayers I left unsaid
And sought the God I did disown.
You gave to me no word of blame
But wrapped me in your love’s belief,
Dear love, that burnt my sin like flame,
And left me worthy of your grief.
