To journey into the abyss, is to travel beyond the day I know,
To enter beyond, where fear and uncertainty challenges me to stay or go.
From the depths of my very being, within my heart of hearts
I want to move forward, to make a new start.
I reach out into the darkness, where threats await
I quiver with anxiety and discover renewed faith.
How can this be when darkness falls and encompasses my life?
When fear and terror ripples within me and I baulk at shadows of moonlight?
From deep within the gloom of turmoil all becomes clear
I open my eyes to realities doorway, welcoming me to enter in.
Here and now I stand strong, I stand aglow with love,
Not love of my own making but that gifted from God above.
Yes, I shall go forward and capture every day,
I’ll reach out and hold firmly, to the threats that pass my way.
My decision rests in the moment, ought I release or hold tight
I discern within the glory, of thy radiant light.
I shall hold up to you Lord my worries, fears and cares
And offer them to your wisdom to convert to freedom’s stair.
It is the key that unlocks mysteries,
The key that upholds mounts,
The key that’s offered freely,
The key paid in full amount.
It is the key of your sacred heart my Lord,
That calms the storm and torment of my heart.

The only red ink I might offer is tiny. The word baulk made me stumble. I know it can be a billiards term and a variant of the word balk (perhaps it's the preferred UK spelling, which makes the stumble rest totally on me the reader)It really wasn't a big deal but I did want to mention it, just so others are aware there are more than one spelling for it.:)
Though many have written about Jesus being the key this week, I still think you put such a personal touch on this piece that it makes it stand out from the others. I really enjoyed every bit and left with a sense of hope and love that made me feel warm and happy.
