There's nothing left here for me.
I've lost my words--they've started to flee.
And you...and you.
You flee me, too.*

Amidst the chaos, amidst the tears,
Something stands to relieve my fears.
I don't know what it is,
But I know the work is His.

I will not fear tomorrow, the day I know you'll leave,
When waters deep will you from me bereave--
I can hold on, I know I can,
For God is all my strength, not man.

Though oceans writhe with ships to break,
And friends arise, their leave to take,
I will not fear these pains nor falls,
For Jesus is my all in all.
