When darkness is cast against my sight
And my gaze seems obscured from you
When my heart falls below the threshold
When the waves of fate tossed my faith
Savior, let me fall in your embrace of mercy.
When the tent of friends and lovers are far
When the voice of teachers mute in truth
When I do not know the way from here
When axes threatens the fruit of my vine
Only let me fall in your embrace of mercy.
When the surge of the sea stands at me
And the billows roared against my voyage
When my grip and anchor cease to hold
When too filthy could not touch the helm of your garment
Only let me fall in your embrace of mercy.
When hell and destruction hunt after me
When hades plot to halt my purpose
When far away I wandered from your call
When at the end of the road I hit the cliff
Only let me fall in your embrace of mercy.
When the tongues of foes are wet in judgements
When against your ordinance I erred
When I missed your will at the borderline of choice
When I sleep in death knowing not my end
Savior, only let me fall in your embrace of mercy.
Omotayo (Tpoet)
