Lost In Pain

I wandered lonely, lost in pain All I could do was weep, A troubled mind, in unknown hills With chasms, dark and deep. I did not know which path to take Nor which way should I go, I was seeking guidance A sign, so I would know. A light appeared before me A figure caught my eye, "Who are you," I asked of him "Or will you pass me by." "Can I help my son," he said "Have you lost you way," "Yes, yes I have I cried" Was all that I could say. "Then come and take my hand For you must follow me, I am the Lord, your God my son And I shall comfort thee." So the Lord, he took me He became my guide, All my fears then left me And all my tears they dried. I awoke anew next morning My heart, now filled with hope, Whatever life may bring me The Lord will help me cope.
