All things considered

by Joel Howard

My pain

In sight

Is much too much

a fright

Is it alright?

I ask tonight

All things considered

I'm ok

Feels like

I can't

But break

Having bent

Is it alright?

I ask You tonight

But you have all things considered

I'm ok

Put our pain in context

Put my grief into your hands

Put the world under foot

You have all things considered

You have all things conquered

You have overcome all things

You have all things considered

So I'm ok

Lest I calculate only a part

Lest I forget who You are

Lest I take the place of the King

Lest I forfeit all things

You have all things considered

So I'm ok
