How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long hide Your face in the dark? How long must I whisper "Endure," While grief sings sharp as a shard? How long till light cracks through this ache, Till my enemy’s laugh goes dim? Look—answer— before my courage breaks, Before I drown in him. But I— will cling to Your stubborn love, Though the night won’t name its hour. My heart will dance to the tune of "Enough!" Your yes is the dawn’s first flower.
