The Time Draws Near

lost in the darkness,

I lie awake,

tossing and turning,

frightened and confused,

unsure of the thoughts and emotions,

unable to understand or comprehend

as this dying body of flesh

slowly grows weary and fails,

betrayed by the instincts and hungers

it requires for survival,

destroyed by the intoxicating poisons

it so desperately craves;

the time draws near,

the day is at hand,

soon the morning sun will dawn,

all things shall be revealed;

the light of Your glorious presence

grows brighter,

the power of Your touch

strengthens and renews,

everything changes,

everything fades;

You are all I need,

You are all there is;

lead me through this wilderness,

let Your righteousness be my guide,

let Your glory shine for all to see,

let Your holy will be done;

allow me to serve You all my days,

for in You I shall find my deliverance,

in You I shall rise from the dark,

through You I shall overcome;

You who are my Lord,

You who are my King,

You who are my Everything.
