El Shaddai

 
dwindles the waters full of life's affirmation
sadness rushes in and I fall under
a gentle heart struggles in this world
kindness mistaken for weakness
in my solitary repose, I know...
 
this isn't so
 
I have the propensity to be cruel
my ire rises with the dark tides
pulling me down inside the darkness
 
with a heavy heart, I call to the heavens  
 
"El Shaddai"
 
save me from drowning
emotional sharks are circling
that's when I break surface
and with a grateful heart, I rise
 
the mighty abyss  
full of hate has no power
 
unless I give up
