The Task

The Task

the task is too great for me oh god

my hand too weak and small

my arms feel as if they are wood

my legs shake and i may fall

my mind not strong or sharp or good

my voice trembles each time i call

my gut feels as if it’s too full of  food

i am not up to this at all

Fear not what you lack for I am here

Haven’t I told you so

I have not left you I am near

I said I would be where you go

you will be the head and not the tail

you will stand strong and tall

you will trump both snow and hail

you will answer when I call

So go you now and preach each word

I place into your mind

now go forth and let it be heard

How I saved all mankind
