Little Light Of Hope



In a tunnel full of darkness
  no light to be found
I realized I'd hit bottom
  when I was laid out on the ground.

Then up in the heavens
  my gaze began to see
A little light shimmer
  I just knew it was for me!

So I set my sights on it
  that light way up in the sky
And as I keep focus
  I begin to feel as if I can fly

There was joy to be found
  right there where I was at
Because now I am standing
  I am not laid out on my back

My Lord and my Savior
  the maker of that light
My ultimate defender
  the giver of strength in any fight!

The most gracious Creator
  solver of all my needs
The ultimate giver of blessings
  The Source Of All Good Deeds

About this poem

When I felt I was so far lost and alone and nothing but darkness was closing in on me from all directions, I fell to my lowest point and laying there with nothing but pitch black encompassing me, I seen this little pin hole of light in all the darkness!
