Like water pours from a fountain
Despair poured from her soul
Life had been shrouded in darkness
By black clouds overhead
Her mind shackled to a memory
Her heart filled with pain
Over what had been lost, never to be regained
But what was this sadness
That overtook her like a spell?
She pondered to the heavens
Why summers warming glow
Had been replaced
By winters frosty hand
And yet in the distance
There was a light barely seen
A glimmer of hope for the life to be redeemed
A candle in the darkness
For all the world to see
The Spirit of the One who knows all things
Spoke to her soul ever so gently
"Haven't I brought you through other dark times before?
Can you not trust Me, just this once more?"
It was then that she knew she could stand
Knew she would not fall
For God Almighty was holding her hand
And what lies ahead, she cannot say
But the Lord said He would be with her
And to this promise she will cling
