Darkness settles around the heart
Of one whose light trembles on the air
As the sadness pours over the soul
Who knows a loved one has gone away
The struggle, the grief, is like a soft rain
Never letting up, just wet enough
To dampen the thoughts, the mind
All the wondering of a weeping, mourning
That never stops – it haunts and mocks
Every tear that falls, every lonely ache
Besieged by the faded call of such pain
Dread empties its sorrow into the heart
Who knows that gushing shade of black
Never remembers it is meant to find rest
Amid the hope that comes from the light
Feelings of inspiration found on the inside
Of a soul who sees that love is still alive
Dancing to the tune of memories assured
By their beauty and breath of tenderness
Drifting on the wing kissed air of silent winds
Shimmering in the sky, listening to the One
Who remembers us – our hurt – our worry
The reflections of darkness coloring us in hues
Of madness – crazy colors of the tempest
Who hisses fear through the ebony night
Petrifying dread that grows a freezing alarm
Over our hearts and souls, through our love
Which comes alive with the assurance that He
Will bind up our wounds, heal our grief
And save us from the devil who is greedy
For our pain, our anguish, our misery
The darkness that shudders with the horror
Of knowing that hatred will fight us
Try to destroy all the love, hope and faith
That live inside us to guide us and provide us
With a grace which sustains, a grace that awaits
When we simply say “I’m sorry” and let God
Work out the details of our lives, our love
The way we give and live, the way we will
Become the children that He can fill with His Spirit
He is the answer to every dark and dismal moment
He never stills the joy and He never subdues the love
He arranges for us to know Him the way we know hope
He lets us know we’re His by the way we sense Him with us
He is the Savior of the world and He is our personal Savior!
He is the miracle of all miracles, the wonder of wonders…
The light in my heart – the sparkle in my eyes
The dream that never fades – the kindness that delights
He is my entire life!
