When I learned I cannot protect myself

I started to understand

You are my Defender

When I learned I am but an inept child

I started to understand

You are my Father

When I learned I have no love in me

I started to understand

You are my Lover

When I learned I have no place to harbor

I started to understand

You are my Anchor

Oh beautiful God

Almighty Savior

My life is more lowly than a worm

Yet You gave Your son to ransom

Remind me every second

That I am nothing

Lead me every second

My gentle
