I know I’m in danger
But need not of fearing
If I remember
That I am nothing
I’ll know that danger
Can take nothing from me
When I feel afraid
I forget, nothing I be
And If I remember
I’ve nothing called my own
That will not be lost
At the end of life shown
That only what’s not mine
But God’s will ever live
And free me from false fears
With a heart to give
(based upon words by Thomas Merton)
