God Is Love

 

In my loneliness, I know I'm not alone

The darkness of this space in my thoughts

I think of my life, my state of being

My presence, my pain, to my purpose

 

Your goodness is beyond my tears, my fears

A presence brings such comfort to my soul 

I hear those out in fields of hope crying, sighing

Some locked away, thrown into the innermost

 Will I forget when no one I had to call

 

There's your presence so near, so dear 

You kept my sanity to not slip away

The pit like this prison is a holding place

You prepare a table before me 

The darkness now flees at the light

 

What was meant for my hurt, you turned 

The light that bathes me, says you're mine

A mother's forsaken, a world so taken 

I will be neglected, such love I'm infected 

I'll never know what love is, like you

 

Every step I take, every move I make

I look at your blood soaked foot prints

Impressed in the sands of time

Reminders of a death, for a debt

I placed my feet, and I'm not alone

 

One thing I know for sure 

No one here can love me more

An endless, selfless love I know

Is all I need while here below

Then gladly share wherever I go
