Darkness

All the places that I felt abandoned
As the evening slipped into the night
When the darkness pressed against my eyelids
And the fear crept in on every side

You were there
I see it now
You were there
When the panic rose inside of my chest

I wondered if You withdrew Your hand
My heart raced as all my worries surfaced
And I couldn't gain control of them
I'd spin on and on and on for hours
Til the dawn began to break the sky
With the mercies of a new morning
I remembered you could raise my life

You were there
I see it now
You were there
You met me in my breaking
Gave solace to my mind
My pretending had failed me
I could no longer hide
