The Strength of My Heart

Inspired by Psalm 73

My flesh and my heart –

They both will fail,

But you will be my guard.

Strength torn apart,

A broken sail –

Be the strength of my heart.

Left with a scar –

A painful trail –

But you will be my guard.

Lonely graveyard,

My face gone pale –

Be the strength of my heart.

A heart made hard –

A bitter tale – 

But you will be my guard.

Part and depart, 

Alone and frail,

But you will be my guard.

Be the strength of my heart.
