How deep the loss, in heart i feel, my patience gone, my faith is low, that love I’ve gained is fading slow, what I write, I do not know, the Lord of Love, seems but a dream, I question much, no answers come, I struggle much, I may succumb, life of promise seems very far, farther than the distant stars! To cast this dark from my eyes, I must seek first that perfect prize, but in this dismal state I’m in, prevents the light from getting in, O to shed this dreadful plight, O to bask within Truth’s light, to chase this darkness far away, melt this frozen river ice, that keeps me from my Lord Jesus Christ ! To break this ice, Praise I must, For Jesus came and gave so much, O to feel His gentle hands, that strength sustains the man I am, i must recall what long I’ve known, I am never truly alone! Scripture reads and proclaims, I am wonderfully and fearfully made, made in the image of God, to Him this Child does belong, So I cry to My Loving Friend, remove this cage I’m trapped within… Cut the lock, for I have no key, then crush this cage that encompasses me, That I may emerge into the Light of Truth, far and away from this dismal booth, to walk in light, is my plea, Wo walk hand in hand with thee… O Praise the Lord, The God of Light, O Praise the Lord, The God of Life, O Praise My Savior Jesus Christ, Praise Praise Praise, each day and night! Thank you Jesus, I can see the Light, You have turned my dark to light, I pray those in darkness find, New Hope for their Soul and Mind And they too can Joy in Praise, Make it soon Lord, Do it today!
