Infinite Love - Søren Kierkegaard

Thou loving Father, 

everything goes wrong for me

and yet Thou art love. 

I have even failed in holding fast to this—

that Thou art love, 

and yet Thou art love.

Wherever I turn, 

the only thing that I cannot do without

is that Thou art love, 

and that is why, 

even when I have not held fast 

to the faith that Thou art love,

I believe that 

Thou dost permit through love 

that it should he so, 

O Infinite Love.
