From the darkness
Darkness
Fear
Tremblings
Struggles
Chains that bind
Bars that imprison
Fleeting shadows
Echoing laughter
Mocking the broken hearts
Flickering flame
Struggling to survive
The Light seems so far away
And the darkness seems so strong
Straining against the vines that bind me
Their thorns cutting deep into my flesh
I fight against their poison
That seeps into my veins
Drugging me to sleep
Crying out in desperation
I know You hear my call
Straining to hear Your answer
My heart cries out for You
Parched, dry
I'm fading in the night
But I see a flicker in the corner of my eye
A voice is carried on the wind
"Rise up My daughter
You are alive
You are Mine
I gave you My strength
Pull out the fire inside
It is stronger than the dark
Rise up, I am with you
Break free"
Trusting Your words
I dig deep to my core
There I find a fire
Pulsating to Your rhythm
As I push further into Your fire
It spreads into my bloodstream
Setting me ablaze
The poison is burning away
The vines break like dried grass
A Light breaks through the darkness
Reaching out to me
Chains fall away
Evil is silenced
Darkness flees
Light has triumphed
I am free
Running to You
I throw myself in Your arms
As You quench my thirst
And soothe my wounds in my soul
Rescuer, Restorer
Life and Light
In my world of darkness
