1. I see fate choosing to wrong me
Insistent on warring against me and prolonging my suffering

2. If it saddens me, it suddenly becomes gentle
Teasing my senses and moods in every way

3. And if its tribulations give me relief
It bewilders me with charm or a friend's harm

4. And I'm told that grief will repeat
With agonizing pain and tight constraint

5. By God's glory, I will not reconcile
Nor does lamenting your complaint please me

6. And if the rule of my wellbeing were mine
I would gift you my share and rights

7. So you awake, safe with my awakening
And from your plaints I awake no more

8. God has sufficed me, I'm God-fearing
Of all your sunrises of woes
