|
I have heard the slander of many, |
|
Terror on every side. |
|
While they council together against me, |
|
A scheme to take away my life. |
|
I am small, concealed in this darkness, |
|
Yearning to see the light, but |
|
I may never |
|
Because of the heartless attempt |
|
To take away my life. |
|
Am I safe? |
|
The water around me |
|
Is changing. |
|
Is it allright? |
|
I am burning. |
|
Oh what are they doing? |
|
They want to take away my life. |
|
But as for me, |
|
I trust in |
|
Thee, Oh, |
|
Lord, my times are in |
|
Your hands. |
|
You are my |
|
God, deliver me |
|
From the solution that they have planned. |
|
I'm condemned, completely unwanted, |
|
I struggle to stay inside, |
|
Oh, my dear mother, your future is haunted, |
|
If they succeed and take away my life. |
|
I'm cut off, exposed in this cold room, |
|
For love and warmth |
|
I strive, will you discard me, |
|
Throw away or starve me, |
|
And slowly drain away my life. |
|
But as for me, |
|
I trust in |
|
Thee, Oh, |
|
Lord, my times are in |
|
Your hands. |
|
You are my |
|
God, deliver me |
|
From the solution that they have planned. |
|
Desperate hands reach out to embrace me, |
|
And steal away in the night, |
|
A gentle voice is speaking assuringly, |
|
No one will take away your life. |
|
Now I am one apart from the millions |
|
Fortunate to survive. |
|
And though |
|
I bear on my body these old wounds, |
|
They didn't take away my life. |
|
But as for me, |
|
I trust in |
|
Thee, Oh, |
|
Lord, my times are in |
|
Your hands. |
|
You are my |
|
God, deliver me |
|
From the solution that they have planned. |
