I am determined to praise You.
I am determined to praise You in the midst of anger and grief,
though my heart cries within me;
at times tears fill my eyes and flow down my face.
You are there to dry them with Your presence.
I am determined to seek your face and listen for You.
I am determined to hide myself in the cleft of the Rock;
to focus my eyes on You instead of the storm clouds around me.
I choose to let You have me for You are everything to me.
