A FRIEND IN DARKNESS

No matter the trial,

The Lord is with me,

He’s there all the while,

Though I may not see.

When seeped in the darkness,

He stays close by me,

And pours out His grace,

His love and mercy.

Though I may not feel Him,

He’s there just the same,

And reaches down to me,

When I call His name.

How greatly He loves me,

If I’d only see,

He holds me securely

Through every valley.

And when my final walk

Leads me to the light,

His spirit will lift me,

My soul to alight.
