We have only this
To spur us onward, great love,
Plus, beneath us, dust.
A heart gains passion,
For what exists eternal,
Beyond its knowledge.
Light up the moment
With incandescent joy, love,
A fire set above.
All my needs I bring
To Jesus Christ, my sovereign King
Who rules all present.
Sometimes one laughs like
Tears never existed, though
The trails track one’s face.
