~ PIERCED BY THE LIGHT ~
One day sadness came beating on my door;
It stormed in and pulled me out
and hurled me upon a sinking seashore.
I watched as the waves came crashing down;
they climbed up the beach and dragged me in,
turning this child’s smile into a frown.
I was sucked under water, deep into the sea.
I couldn’t swim or breathe;
“Oh Dear God, Please Help Me!”
I struggled and struggled to stay afloat,
trying everything to escape my depressive moat.
Sunsets came and sunsets went
while my dance with despair was many years spent.
Then one day a Bright Star appeared
causing my way to become so clear.
It pierced the darkness of my night;
I reached out and grabbed it
and held on with all my might.
The Star gave me purpose,
The Star gave me hope,
it gave me guidance
and strength to cope.
This Bright Star of mine,
I will never let go;
He’s taught me to ride the waves
that once thrashed me to and fro.
Oh Jesus is my Star that shines so Bright;
He is my Lord, my Deliverer,
The One Who wraps me in His Divine Light.
