As I sit in the head of an Eastern Kentucky holler in the late hours of the night
I feel no breeze coming my way and I see no light
As I sit outside I allow the darkness of the sky to envelope me
I strain my eyes, yet there is nothing for me to see
The quiet stillness surrounds me in this hour that I should be asleep
Yet awake I sit and ponder the trials and errors of my life and I weep.
I strived for perfection to no prevail
I yearned to win, achieve, and succeed only to fail
I had everything right - a house, a job, a man, yet it all seemed so wrong
This life I created - God did not belong
Then one day I handed everything over to him
This enabled my new life to begin
To God I gave all including my joys and my strife
And it is this point that I reflect
Where has God taken me in my life?
At one time, my life was consumed with darkness and everything wrong
The void and emptiness he overfilled with laughter, blessings and song
The trials and burdens were tearing my life apart
The moment I gave him my all, joy and contentment filled my heart
As I sat in the dark and reflected on his love
A clap of thunder and flash of light lit the sky above
I laughed for a moment as I thought in delight
I no longer sit in darkness but live in the light.
