In days past I have found
Only torture in my lack of care.
What treasures lay around
That I miss in my despair?
If light truly abides in darkness,
Why is it that darkness seems to rule?
Why does my life lack fondness,
Why must it be so cruel?
Day by day dawn finds me
Wallowing in doubt,
No wall is high to hide me,
Evil’s pursuit is stout.
Yet in my life is someone pure.
Could she help me finish the fight?
Maybe this innocent soul is the cure
To the long, cold night.
She leads me to a truth that truly,
Truly I have never known,
She wishes I spend thoughts duly,
And let Someone soften my heart of stone.
Now my time’s spent pondering this,
As she sleeps peacefully on the grass,
Perhaps no longer will I miss
My chance until the last.
Light is invading my darkness.
My sin no longer may hide.
In shines a being still honest,
To whom I may confide.
It is done, I am saved.
I’ve seen Him who alone can heal.
I owe it all to this little maid.
You can make a difference too, it is real.
