Between life and death
Locked in space
No hope do you see?
It is a forsaken place to be,
Dark and lonely
Paralyzed,
You cannot move, You cannot see!
The space hovers around me
Every turn I take.
I am blind
Darkness is all I see!
Who will help me?
I am all alone.
Forsaken,
You cannot move, You cannot see!
A voice so quiet, says tenderly,
“Take my hand,
Reach out to me,
I will help you.”
I am so afraid,
Lost in my space.
“Where did he come from?”
“How did he know I was here?”
“Go get help”, I say.
“Bring a rope and a light"
"For I am locked in this space".
"Help me, I pray.”
“No need for those things”, he says.
“I am here in your space".
"Reach out,
I will light your way.”
“Who are you, brother?”
“I am He who loves you,
I have never left you,
Though you felt suspended in space.”
“Though your darkness envelopes you,
I see you.”
“Let me take your hand,
Just reach out.”
“You want me to trust you”,
“When I cannot see you?”
“Yes, have faith in Me,
I will pull you through.”
So torn am I
My doubts give way-
I want life
To reside in me!
He takes my hand,
And His beacon shines,
He was with me
All the time.
He is the key
That unlocked my heart,
Freedom –
No longer suspended in time.
No matter how long-
I need to remain
He is with me.
I can move, I can see!
I just needed to reach out,
Have faith,
Take His hand,
And He led me all the way.
Whether in life or in death,
He knows my path
I am not alone,
He has filled my space.
The door was locked,
To my heart; but now
I have found peace
In Him forevermore.
