take me to ten
I'm at one, again
fallen, when?
in my jump to ten
oh God of all,
my way does fall
who seeks like this, to leap?
but a child, who calls
time is mine,
for the two through nine
falling, stumbling,
I trip and slip
on the icy mountainside
and slippery slopes
hope, I dial your number
eyes, awake from slumber
Helper, do you remember,

I need You, now.
down, down the hole
stories will tell
when a soul sees hell
what is next, here?
but Jesus?
and cries for help and rescue, then
and I am even with one
on a scale of one through ten
again.
"You're # 1"
yeah, I know.
we all are.
