IN DARKNESS, HE IS MY LIGHT

In Darkness, He is my Light

My groans are my prayers and

I know that You are there,

Lord, I feel as though I cannot get enough air

My prayers are whispers and sighs,

In pain, I close my eyes

Anguish fills my bones…

It makes me feel so alone

Broken, broken though I appear to be full of life!

So all who are introduced to me or do not know me surmise…

My shower this morning was torture,

I could barely stand

Only with strength from Jesus’ strong hand!

It is like this time and again

But my Savior is my Friend

In darkness, He is my Light, He helps me fight

He hears the prayers unspoken,

The feeling of wanting to give up

He knows my faith is no mere token

And that after a great battle of wills and surrender,

I’ve accepted this bitter cup…

There’s great grace in the pain

That’s found nowhere else

Because you learn to really trust in Christ,

With ALL that you are,

With every bit of your life…

We learn through the struggle,

And we learn through the strife

Even though the pain can cut you like a knife!

But Oh Lord, may You be glorified in my life!
