Barnabas Speaks in the Night
by Terry R A Eissfeldt Voice One: Isolated and alone Heavy chains around my soul Imprisoned within myself Darkness now my only friend Unkind voices in my head Impenetrable walls of grief I was captured unaware Now I'm caught in deep despair Depression pulling me into the depths No more light to guide my way No more sun, no more day Salvation waits for me in Death Voice Two: In the night I hear Your voice You speak a name familiar to my ear An overwhelming burden to pray is birthed I yield this vessel of clay to Your Spirit's leading I feel the unity of purpose with unseen messengers As to Your throne we bear a weaker member With the first break of the sun Into the ever lightening sky The burden lifts Voice One: As I contemplate my fate Filled with rage, filled with hate I reach for pills to bring an end But somewhere deep within my night I hear a voice, I see a light Remembering I have a friend She doesn't know of my need I haven't shared with her my grief Would she still love me if she knew? I put the bottle back in place Let cleansing tears reach my face Darkness fades hope begins to brew Voice Two: The phone interrupts my day My friend is there to tell me of her grief We pray as hand in hand we walk Daughters of the King Sweet release comes as weary arms are strengthened Together we are stronger than we could ever be alone Praise erupts from the depths of our united souls Your will is done as we Come together Terry R A Eissfeldt copyright 210 Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
