but because

i'm falling down again
a thousand prayers unanswered
i've laboured long and lonely
seen mountains still unmoved
when days turn into months
and hope becomes opaque
my heart begins the barricade
against familiar breaks
along the road less traveled
did i miss a fork not marked
in pursuit of longings deep
did You mean something else
i'm hunkered down resigned
to mend these nets so torn
from stormy waters fruitless
when again i hear Your voice
protesting at the path
i think i know so well
these are familiar waters
but Your gaze is strong and still
so because You say so
i'll trust this bleeding heart
risk on a new adventure
You've never failed me yet
