My Light Oct 1999

“There is no use, you’ve lost it all”
- thus the enemy cries out on my fall.
I lie down low,
With my face pressed down on the floor.
Grief and shame make me blind
Guilt does seem to fill my mind
And in despair I cry out,
“O Lord, all I see is fear and doubt
Surely I’ve put you down,
Never can I make it on my own.
Now I look up to my Maker-
Who can help me through my failure.”
And then I heard the lord say,
“I’m forever with you to stay
For your weakness that you face
All you need is My grace.”
Surely God is my stronghold
And by His power I’m bold
He is Strong to lift me up
In front of my enemies I sup
And so out of joy I shout,
To the powers of darkness about
“Never rejoice over me, my enemy
For though I fall I will rise,
Never will I fear in the darkest night
For the lord my God is my light.”
