End of All Despair

"End of All Despair"
By Nicholas Giro

Stuck in the dark, miry clay;
No way out.
Thirsting for hope and salvation each day;
There's a drought.
Dying and longing for peace within;
Peace is nowhere to be found.
Wanting just to be able to grin;
The pain inside is too profound...
Struggling to be free from the bondage of sin;
No power within to overcome.
Exhausted, overwhelmed, and wearing thin;
Is the only way out to just simply succumb?

Saved, loved, and redeemed by One;
All by one prayer.
The struggle has only just begun,
But now marks the end of all despair.
