Caught up in
my own.
Blinded with the fear.
Hearing myself groan.
Death and sin so near.
Unable to save myself.
Loved ones failing fast.
Faith put on a shelf,
Having thought it wouldn't last.
Suddenly the urge.
Praying once again.
Begging, help this scourge.
Save me from my sin.
Then whoa! His light shines again!
Him: so unfailingly near.
I remember, remember, and he sends
His peace – Oh Prince! – so clear.
Now the world settles down
From its orbit in my head.
Stress slipping to the ground
Suddenly my fear...dead?
Confident in Him
No matter what they say.
My only duty – love! In the din,
As devils come today.
Confidence: no matter what the world
Tries to throw my way,
I can always, forever see
Heaven! in the bright light of day.
