Yearning for sunrise through long marches of night
Starting at shadows on the edges of sight.
Heart filled with terror and dreams with dark visions
Long-shredded hopes and guilt-laced contrition.
Once he dared to call on Jesus' name,
Once he professed to be counted as saved,
But never once did prayer cross his lips
And never the Word met his eyes.
All that mattered was money and what it could gain
The god that deserted him in his hour of need.
He followed the pathway that led to despair
And now, all alone, he listens to taunts of paradise lost.
From somewhere inside him a tiny flame stirs
And a voice long-ignored reaches out through the gloom.
"I never have left you since you called out to me
I allowed you to wander; it's time to return."
No words came to express the anguish he felt,
Only a great shuddering cry of despair,
But God heard his prayer, and touched his fevered soul.
Light came to darkness, and peace to banish the pain.
