(Inspired by John 6:68)
When your teachings are hard to bear,
where shall I go, my Lord?
For the sinful world is unfair
and without you days are bare,
and without you nights do scare.
No, to leave you I couldn't dare,
to forget you - I can't afford.
When your teachings are hard to bear,
and in storm my boat is tossed,
where could I go, oh where?
Who would comfort in my nightmare?
Who would give me guidance and care?
You have counted even the hair
on my head – they couldn't be lost.
When your teachings are hard to bear,
a rebellious spirit is loose,
where can I go, oh where?
So, I beg you, my Lord, in despair:
don't let me to be ensnared,
please do not forsake me, be near
and cast down my deepest fear,
give me strength to listen and hear,-
You alone possess the Truth.
