My mortality spreads before me day and
night,
I wince at bearing this heavy load.
I stumble and I fall,
The darkness seeking to swallow me whole.
I know He waits at heaven’s gate
Till I have learnt to walk the rough
domain;
I will hurry, I will run
I will grasp the heaven’s hand
That will lift me to His arms
Forever there to remain.
