Sink or Swim

You took me in,
with all my sin;
Was sink or swim,
So I dived in.
Not caring for;
Myself or him;
Would it take my life?
Then, when oh! when?
I could live this way,
and stay within.
These stray chalk lines?
I'm giving in.
And at the moment of sink or swim.
The real decision rests with him;
Without encouragement!
You know i'd never go within.
But i'd take that chance,
when i'm with him.
I'll face the option.
And then we'll swim.
