What Am I Without You?

What am I without you, O Lord?
Nothing, nothing, indeed!
You have made me for this very time.
Only as a vapor dispatched by the wind
Your choice for me was this time.
I am a wisp of smoke consumed by the wind.

Where would I be without you, O Lord?
Lost, lost without hope!
You pursued me until the appointed time.
All I had to do was turn to find
You had been there all the time.
You Lord, you were all I needed to find.

Who would I be without you, O Lord?
No one, no one at all!
Your design for me is for now, this time.
My soul seems as light as the wind.
This is your plan for this day and time.
My spirit carried by your wind.

When will you come and rescue me, O Lord?
Come now, come quickly!
You have set me at this place, this time.
In this place, I live by your holy wind.
Your will shall find its course, its time.
This is your moment come riding on the wind.
