I Was Alone

I was alone
                                           Lost in this world
                            Trying to find just a glimmer of light
                              I was blinded by misery’s darkness,
                                  Drenched by shame and fright
 
                                                     I was alone
                                               Seeking shelter 
                                                          Hoping
                                      That one day I might find.
                                       A place for my heart to call home, 
                                    Somewhere that was truly mine

                                                 I was alone
                                          Seeking nourishment,
                                 Longing to feed my hungry soul
                                     On a quest for completion, 
                                  To make my flesh feel whole

                                               I was alone 
                                           seeking refuge
                                         A place of tranquility 
                                    then I met my heart’s joy
                                     The missing part of me

                             He took me and clothed me 
                                    in his finest garments
                                          silks, satins
                            And his robe of the pure white
                         He gave me dominion over his heart
                                    And accepted as his wife.

                                              I was alone
                                              And seeking
                            But never know that I was searching
                                     Until I met this man
                       Who showed me that I was worthy to be loved
                              And held my heart in his hands.

                                                    Now, 
                                   I am no longer searching
                              For that something that is true
                           I have found all that I’ve sought after
                                     And I found it in you.
