Darkness besets me
It just won’t let me
Find comfort in any hour of my day
I frown and I cry
I suffer to die
As I stand in this chaotic fray
I look to the sky
Pleading to die
But light through a cloud, just a ray
Shines on my face
In it’s soft, warming grace
And its love takes my darkness away
There is a God
And I am just awed
How he’s there when I’m feeling dismay
His touch I can feel
And I know it is real
I hear him whenever I pray
Oh God, I am blessed
My sins I’ve confessed
And there’s something that I want to say
I love you so much
And I want to touch
Your face - as it shines on me - every day
