A darkened night
The hour that joy took flight
Drew swiftly into shade
But mercy’s light has stayed
Staring at my grief
Oh God, how fierce the pain that steals belief
Yet life, You gave to free me
So farewell to shadows thundered
Those fleeting idols I have wandered
Fall silent, false masters
Lie broken in the flames below
While Your love, a sacred tower
Calls to me in desperate hours
Kneeling, I cry
Oh Savior, lift me from this hell I know
A darkened night
The hour that joy took flight
Drew swiftly into shade
But mercy’s light has stayed
Staring at my grief
Oh God, how fierce the pain that steals belief
Yet life, You gave to free me
Eye for an eye, You bore my pain to the altar
The Lamb of God, my faith can’t falter
No more thorns to press upon the Savior
Who broke death’s agony
And I though I have tried
To bury sorrow deep inside
Your cross became my guide when she died
Still sense Your presence so divine
Arms of grace surround my life
In shadows soft, I find
Your footsteps close, Your love entwined
Salvation is the hope eternal, binding hearts to peace
I hear Your whisper like the wind through cedars
See Your face in every sacred feature
Through clouds and light, Your hand holds strong and nearer…
Your love relieving me
Soon!
Suicide is never the answer, the release
Salvation is the hope eternal, binding hearts to peace
A darkened night
The hour that joy took flight
Drew swiftly into shade
But mercy’s light has stayed
Staring at my grief
Oh God, how fierce the pain that steals belief
Yet life, You gave to free me
So farewell to shadows thundered
Those fleeting idols I have wandered
Fall silent, false masters
Lie broken in the flames below
While Your love, a sacred tower
Calls to me in desperate hours
Kneeling, I cry
Oh Savior, lift me from this hell I know
A darkened night
The hour that joy took flight
Drew swiftly into shade
But mercy’s light has stayed
Staring at my grief
Oh God, how fierce the pain that steals belief
Yet life, You gave to free me
Eye for an eye, You bore my pain to the altar
The Lamb of God, my faith can’t falter
No more thorns to press upon the Savior
