In the Shadows

It was dark, so dark, even in the day then I turned my head and the shadows went away.

My gaze it shifted and the heaviness, it lifted.

Sometimes I’m still afraid but hope bids me to stay, give it a chance don’t miss the dance.

Grace calls me closer to the window pane to see the sun, to say goodbye to the rain, to the glum.

I tiptoe carefully to the edge, trusting in every word He said.

I see the beams, Oh how they shine - I think maybe joy could someday be mine.

I can sense it, there’s more - it’s time to get up off of this floor.

It feels like things could start to go right - praise the Lord, I see the light.
