I’m lost … in a dark narrow valley
I hear … rustling noises behind me
Quickly I turn, but there is nothing to see
Darkness … looms all around me.
My spirit is torn, oh what shall I do?
These creatures try to pull me down
But God is my strength, a victorious warrior
He sends help so I will not drown.
Life … light in the darkness
My Savior, my Master is He
By Him alone can my heart find forgiveness
Because He came to die for me
Pressures. Deadlines. Time is running out
My life goes by too fast
But in that rush I should stop, look about
And invest in what will last
Peace. Freedom. Oh what a day
When Christ into my life came!
Since that day I can honestly say
My life has not been the same.
Mourning. Sorrow … things rise, and then fall
Anger, bitterness, jealousy and strife
Is there point after all
in rushing through life?
Joy. Hope … strength to endure
My Comfort, my Rock for eternity
His love is the only thing that is sure
He gives life to me … abundantly
