Oh Lord, why am I here, I have to know

            a purpose for my strife?

So, courageously to my mind I go

            for without this part there is no life.

I fight the dragons and the demons there

            that in the past I meekly feared;

And find the wounds not half so bad

            when light is shined upon with care.

 For before I passed the day in hast

            and had a care for naught;

My heart was cold, my soul was black,

            my mind in the cavern of the past was caught.

 Then there comes a peace and calm

            that I thought I would never know;

His explanation a soothing balm

            now too the future I can go.

 My mind is now a peaceful place

            I see the reason for my being;

To “love your neighbor as you love yourself”

            on this precept I make my case.

And this also you ought to know,

            my heart is glad, my soul is safe,

For Truth has told me so.
