Do what you want with meHate me and laugh at meDarken my daytimeAnd torture my night
If my life were important I would ask "Will I live or die?"But I know the answers lieFar from this world
Close every door to meKeep those I love from meChildren of IsraelAre never alone
For I know I shall findMy own peace of mindFor I have been promisedA land of my own
Close every door to meHide all the world from meBar all the windowsAnd shut out the light
Just give me a numberInstead of my nameForget all about meAnd let me decay
I do not matterI'm only one personDestroy me completelyThen throw me away
If my life were important I would ask "Will I live or die?"But I know the answers lieFar from this world
Close every door to meKeep those I love from meChildren of IsraelAre never alone
For we know we shall findOur own peace of mindFor we have been promisedA land of our own
Pondering over troubles. Thinking about times when mistreatment occurs. Life is not easy, it's not meant to be. A reason for living is learning. Joseph was unfairly cast into prison, his own brother sold him into slavery and yet he stood uprightly in the eyes of the Lord. Not once did he give up. Granted I'm sure there were times of doubt, when his body and spirit were to the point of breaking. When he would cry and ask that his burdens be lifted, as do we all. There is no shame in being tired. Do not feel guilty for feeling weary and worn. Do not give up. DO NOT GIVE UP!
I love how beautifully this song illustrates the concept of faith. Each door may be closed, the world may shut you out, there may be no windows from which to escape from, you may be in pitch darkness, laughed at, even tortured. But we are still not only asked, but expected to believe. To keep faith.
D&C 122:7
