As sure as I live,
My life is a retrieve.
A silent get-a-way
From universal play.
As sure as I breathe,
I hide myself in grieve.
And, exercising prayer
Death in the eye I stare.
As sure as I die
My soul to God will fly,
And rest there on green pastures
Away from Earthly vast chores.
As sure as I am
Lost and confused God's lam.
Believing to be found
And brought to Holy Ground.
