ONE TEARDROP FALLS
When I lost my prayer I lost my light
Darkness descended like the middle of the night
This heart once full with life anew
Broken without Him… It just won’t do
How did I get so far away
Lost in the world this man on display
Hecklers bark their tortuous chatter
Pulling me down in hopes I’ll shatter
Why must my eyes feel heavy with dread
Listless, yet breathing, I am not dead
Ceaseless and tireless Hell’s demons they call
Not to be prey; never to fall
Hanging by a thread as my mind starts to slip
Questioning the very source as I grip
Heart beating faster the further I go
Away from the One who will rescue my soul
Blinded no matter the direction I look
Is the chapter completed in this my own book
Censored by all I’ve allowed to get in
Forgetting the pages of where I have been
It has not always been stammering muck
A life that was full now suddenly stuck
Try to remember the beautiful days
The life in the past where no demons played
Who even knew they ever existed
Now here in my life intertwined and twisted
Surely there is still a rope to pull me
Out of this Hell a mind full of fury
Reaching for freedom that long ago was mine
Somewhere in the distance a light I see shine
Hope has a habit of showing us proof
All is not lost nor is it aloof
Faith is another surviving the past
Over and over until here at last
Love burst forth overthrowing the fear
Rejoice in the song when angels appear
A holy choir to behold with opening eyes
I lift untied hands and hold them up to the skies
Knowing that He has found favor within
One teardrop falls as my prayer comes again
