When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light
When sadness overwhelms
And you have lost your sight
A few gentle steps
Moving towards the light
When wounds begin to heal
We sense that near delight
Stirs our waking heart
Embracing inner light
When happiness is found
And all is calm and bright
Ever keep on reaching
Onwards towards the light

Today!
The moment you pick up a pen to write something, and the work graduate says “oh, pen and paper. you’re old school”. 😳
Angry clouds loom
Casting shadows –
The steps I take
Are darkened by the
Absence of sun
No light shining
Today
As the tears fall
I wipe them away
Flesh and spirit
At war
One against the other
I thirst
From the battle that
Rages on
I long for waters
To satisfy
My soul pleads
For rest
For peace
For grace
For all my failings
Weaknesses and more
You are my strength
The one that I adore
I am your child
So Lord I pray
Walk beside me
Watch over me today
My soul cries out
Wherever thou may be
Kiss my heart
That I may feel thy love
Father divine
I fall at thy feet
An empty vessel –
Use me
For thy will
Lyrics
What fortunes lies beyond the stars
Those dazzling heights too vast to climb
I got so high to fall so far
But I found heaven as love swept low
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
What treasure waits within Your scars
This gift of freedom gold can’t buy
I bought the world and sold my heart
You traded heaven to have me again
My heart beating, my soul breathing
I found my life when I laid it down
Upward falling, spirit soaring
I touch the sky when my knees hit the ground
Find me here at Your feet again
Everything I am, reaching out, I surrender
Come sweep me up in Your love again
And my soul will dance
On the wings of forever [x2]
