~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I felt the darkness growing wild, Flooding my thoughts with doubt and despair I felt the shadows start to invite, My heart was burning with fear and pain. I felt the light fading – so dim Pouring out worry and depression I felt the music diminishing, silence beginning My heart was a distant ache, hope vanishing. I felt the wonder disappearing like a vapor Stilling my mind so my life wasn’t graceful I felt the song of my soul walk away from me, My heart was filled with doubt and anguish. I felt all these things – the fears and the tears Rising to shame inside my heart where I knew I felt like I’d lost the way to real truth – Then God sought my heart, reminding me… He is there – always alive and always near Willing to lend His light, His everlasting life Willing to lead me home, where He is known As the joy and the hope, the love that ensures… Wherever I go, whether day or night He is there with me, a friend forever – leading the way So I know what it means to be free from pain Free from all the fear – because He takes away the shame and guilt, Shows me how to live for Him, The One who takes away all my sin And gives me hope that I’ll one day live in heaven, with Him!
