Breaking through the night

The only thing that’s certain

Other than the sun breaking night sky

Is the assurance that is found 

Knowing you’ll be by my side

And just like clouds often shadow

The rays that warm my face

I have to put my faith

In this thing you call your Grace

The answers are sometimes clear

As if you are speaking right in my ear

But many times your whisper comes

In the midst of all my fear

And I have to dig deep

To find the hope you’ve given me

Not that it lie hidden

You don’t play man-sized games

You ask me to trust

To stop and simply pray

I know I try

But I often still ask

“Why?”

Why am I so feeble?

Why do I feel this pain?

Why do I doubt you

When you’ve rescued me over and over again?

Because I still 

often don’t see

As if the sun didn’t rise

and I lack belief

Please,

I am here

And I need you 

Desperately.
