What next
Savoca Lisa Clare 1958 (USA)
Expect the unexpected
But how long?
Be still and know I am God
Coming to an end of my strength
It is most essential to back off
I must give up and let God
Be immune to lies and any offenses
Forgive and always forgive no matter what
Absolute submission in the smallest of things
Will always leads to more direct guidance
I must let go of my confidence
God who sees the end chooses us
Because He alone in His wonderful wisdom
Knows what He can do through us
The greater the struggle in your pilgrimage
When you are numb to all hope
The more glorious the triumph will be
Victory comes when victory can no longer come
