I threw in everything I owned, and feelings of the heart
It was my haven from the world, my safety from all pain
but in not trusting risk or self, I limited my gain.

I placed my life into the hands, I learned to trust with time
I set my fears upon His scars and rest upon His rhyme
"My darling daughter, peace is here; lay your burden down.
I will hold your life for you, and you may wear my crown."
