Now I Know More

sometimes I go back

inside dark and forlorn places,

where confusion and chaos

dance like fire inside my head,

where strange unknown creatures,

silently lurk among forbidden shadows,

places where I stand alone and afraid,

somewhere on the edge;

sometimes I go back to places

where I once was;

I feel the emptiness,

I know the sorrow,

I relive the pain,

I see the lies

for what they truly are;

but then I realize

just how far I have come,

and I know it doesn’t have to

be that way;

now I know more;

now I have a Savior,

now I have a King,

now I have hope,

now I have a reason;

everyday is new,

everyday is alive,

everyday is abundant,

everyday He teaches me

just a little more;

He leads me to places

never imagined obtainable;

He reveals possibilities

never thought possible,

He shows me a love,

beyond the boundaries of this life.
