Lord Jesus Christ,
what is our life? A mist that appears
for a little while and
then vanishes.
Like a little child,
we do not know
whether to go out our
come in.
Who is there to help
us?
If we try to make our way,
someone steps in front
of us.
Our ultimate trust is
in you.
With you to help, we
stand
and take up our mat
and walk.
