Faith

When the darkness surrounds me
Still I feel your light
I don’t have to see you to believe
What I know in my heart is right

You’ve always been there and always will be
Your presence brings great comfort to me
I tried to be in control of my life, I tried to be strong
What I discovered through my hardships was that I was so wrong

My life is not for me to control, it’s for me to live
But in order to do that, I must first forgive
I start by forgiving myself for being righteous and blind
It can be a hard pill to swallow, leaving your failures behind

Why do I let them haunt me so?
Why is it such a struggle to let go?
What is my worry, what is my fear?
That even if I get back on track, my life may still veer?

It’s time to put my faith in a higher power
The only one who knows my true path 
And can lead me through the showers

The rain may fall, the ground my shake
I may doubt myself, but your sacrifices, I will never forsake

Thank you for staying by my side
Thank you for always caring
Thank you for blessing me with two amazing sons meant for sharing

Now when I feel the darkness creeping in
Your light shines even brighter, past feeling and into sight
Leading me away from sin

Free from the stresses that in the past had consumed me
I am all in, for now I see
You make it all happen, so I can just be

You are taking me on an incredible ride
Don’t let me miss any of it
Help me to keep my eyes open wide

Noting every detail of my journey, good or bad
Learning and growing as you intended
Up until the day my life on Earth has ended
And I can come home to you
