Patience and Silence

I’ve never had the spine I lead them to believe
The devil born in me feeds me lies
He creeps into my mind and spreads confusion
I’m left with fear if what could be and doubt of what has been
Truth be told I’d rather not know
It’s so much easier to quit
It’s just so easy not to care
Truth be told I’d rather not go
I want to run away and never come back again
If all the world should come against me
I’d like to think that I could stand
But I’m not always sure that they don’t have your hand
You’re the only one to fear
You’re the only one who loves me as I am
You alone are my defender
You alone will be my judge
You’re the only one to fear (patience)
You’re the only one who loves me as I am (silence)
You alone are my defender (patience)
You alone will by my judge (silence)
Peace be still
