Never had I known my true potent,

My struggle was for the world,

I had before Lord never truly bent,

Scared was I of the scold.

Till one day at last I heard a whisper,

My God to me conveyed,

"My destiny in the truth, whither?"

Where nothing but honesty stayed.

My road was bent, and so today,

I was far from the way

To reach my home, my legs stray

Moving towards the day!
