A life worn out by endless reflections
Has shattered every single last hope of rising again
Has defied your advise and counseling

The sinful nature causes a weak discipline
And drags me to the human frailties grave


Self inflicted wounds
Innumerable false steps
Unforgivable mistakes repeated to a frightening agree

Gradually growing conscious of the habit-forming addiction
Through me all actions fail


The human weaknesses
Are once again at force
In unrecognizable shapes

New structures each time
Fragile symptoms constantly show new characteristic sides


I myself am weak, am nothing
Uncontrolled line of thought color my manners
I know there is more to reach for

I know where strength is found
The overflowing, everlasting source
Within you my maker


With You by my side
The safely directed journey

In me, around me, your presence
Enriches, creates, gives life
You offer completeness,

You are hope
