A Habakkukian Disposition

By Noah J. Craig

Even if I give my best and fail;

Even if my whole world seems to burn;

Even if I can’t make heads or tails;

Even if I am left to but yearn;

Even if death or life would assail;

Even if angels or demons call;

Even if present or future pale;

Even if any power would brawl;

Even if height or depth would swallow;

Even if all creation bellows—

I will rejoice in my

Strength who always hides

Me in the cleft of the high

Rock of Ages, and I

Know that nothing I

Face will be able to pry

Me from the love of my

Savior, even if it tried.
