Thy words were almost certain
yet methinks I must err.
I started walking toward thee
and thy voice called away from there.
I turned toward thy tender words
and listened with my ear
hoping to understand
why I was called toward my fear.
Thy words were almost certain
yet methinks I must err,
because the path that I was on
struck me as straight and fair.
I walked toward the darkness
from which I heard thy voice
and nothing seemed to happen
though I had made the right choice.
Thy words were almost certain
yet methinks I must err
because the darkness lengthens
and I cannot see you there.
Yet my feet will keep me moving
toward thy calm and gentle voice
for I know thy love will keep me
and take me to thy choice.
Thy words, I know, are certain
and I know I cannot err
for my callous hear beats
only when thou art near
