All my days had no colour



All my days had no colour and looked very grey
and I wished that my depression would go away.
Nothing excited me as I went through the motions.
No feeling of joy, only negative emotions.

Nothing could lift my soul from its awful despair.
there was just the darkness and gloom everywhere.
I was lost in the depths of my sorrow and pain
and I wondered if I would know laughter again.

Though the road looked so long and so dark to me
and fear mixed with despair was all that I could see.
But I always felt Your presence beside me there
and that I was not left outside of Your loving care.
 
Then the great day came when colours appeared once more.
Your light came shining through my hearts half open door.
Gradually my depression began to fade away
and I started to live and enjoy each new day.

Oh the joy of being able to laugh and sing.
Oh the difference that only Jesus can bring.
Now glorious colours radiate each day
as I walk and talk with Jesus along the way.
