That feeling I hate crept up silently
Eating me out in the devil's glee
Sourness and sadness overwhelmed me
I was trapped in a dungeon of anguish

It was a choice I knew I could make
To drown in despair or rejoice in liberty
I surrendered wholly to Jesus my Savior
I prayed to him for refuge and strength

Instantaneously surged a wave of comfort
Like embraced in the wings of an angel
A helpless whimper tiny as a dew
The roar of the ocean to the ears of the Lord

For faith and trust I meekly pleaded
For strength to fight the devil's snare
All that and more I was bestowed
All yet no more than the love of God
