The soul reaching, throwing out for love
A desperate plea for anyone who'll listen
He reaches out in despair
And he's answered with gloomy silence
Groping through the dark of night,
Searching everywhere for some light.
A spark of love is all the soul needs,
To set him ablaze with warm love.
His cries are ignored by all
Instead being trampled underfoot
By cold, uncaring hearts
The soul's voice begins to die out.
Beginning to sink into utter hopelessness and despair,
The dying soul begins to give up hope
Who will care for him and show his love?
Who will do something before it's all said and done?
The soul sinks into the outer reaches
Having been rejected and given up hope
Almost nothing can stop his deathly descent,
When the soul, sinking into darkness, has seen a great light.
A glimmer of hope transcends the soul
As he pushes toward the goal
And reaching the light, he sees the Face of Love
And the Light of the world envelops it with love
The realization of the soul's goal
And his desperate need for light
Has come through this man, Jesus,
Who has saved him from his plight.
All the soul's hopes and needs
Are met by this man's death on a tree
He offers the same love, joy, and peace
To anyone who repents, accepts, and believes.
