The light has shown through veils of black
The truth has set us free
Where once we closed our eyes real tight
and chains surrounded thee.
It is a task to keep them closed.
None know it better still.
That we wish to see what isn’t there
but now we never will.
The years we spent, forget, pretend
we move on as best we try.
The sleepless nights and nightmares are
life’s evidence of
the lies.
And all that time, distracted by
the life we feared to lose.
It really wasn’t up to us,
it’s someone else who chooses.
We wasted time, we play at words.
We tried to control the end.
But what we lost, in all that time,
our new found sight cannot defend.
We held on tight to save our world,
But our world wasn’t there
The all consuming pain of life
had stripped our hearts thread bare.
The wounds we bare on top of scars,
Built up the wall we made.
The more we sought to find ourselves
the farther from He who saves.
We mourn for all the time we lost.
We mourn for choices made.
But now we pray for His embrace
His protection, His love, His name
We count ourselves as blessed this time
No longer chained with doubt
We wait for Him to point the way,
And He will guide us out.
We do not fear what is unknown
We have the Light to guide
The world does not possess our hearts
We do not have to hide it.
Yes we do have miles to go
Before we can embrace it
But He will heal the wounds inside,
Now that we aim to face it.
The world has lost its grip on us
We have no will to try
We hang on to our only hope
You see? We did not die.
The worst the darkness can foretell
Can never harm us as much
As the choice to be its slave
And keep us from God’s touch.
Now we are free, yes, free indeed
To seek His will at last
We pick up His cross and feel relieved
To finally follow His path.
Lord, guide us out, or in or not,
we finally just want Your will.
My heart is numb and I submit,
