Cause to God

Let me have silence as I speak,
And let come upon me what may;
Because of what that I may seek,
Be able to come our way.

Why should I take flesh in my teeth,
And putting my life in my hand;
Not knowing what is underneath,
That could cause another demand.

Though He slay me I will still hope,
Yet argue my ways to His face;
With the agony I do cope,
As I still look for His embrace.

For this will be my salvation,
That the godless who shall approach;
Hypocrites from the creation,
As Satan is being their coach.

Keep listening unto my words,
And my declaration in your ears;
Not flying away like the birds,
Diligently to calm your fears.

Behold, I have prepared my case,
I know I shall be in the right;
I am justified in His face,
Since He has given me insight.

Who is there that is pleading me,
Then I would be silent and die;
If I hold my tongue, would it be,
I stay in the grave where I lie.

I only ask to grant two things,
Then I will not hide from His face;
Whatever that tomorrow brings,
May it shine favor from His grace.

Let Him draw His hand far away,
Dread not of Him to terrify;
Because my yearning to obey,
As my God I cannot deny
