I've Been Here
I've fallen into the abyss
of darkness and despair.
I need to find the light,
but I don't know where.
It's so dark where I am.
I want out, but I don't
think I can.
Everyone's so busy with
their own lives.
I think I'll crawl under
something and hide.
No one sees my tears.
No one knows my fears.
As it gets darker day by
day,
It's harder and harder to
find a way
To get out of this pit
That I don't like one bit.
No one helps, no one seems
to care.
Where can I get help?
Where?
Is it really so hard to
distinguish
Normal tears from tears of
pain and anguish?
I thought of killing
myself,
Because no one could, or wanted, to help.
Then a tiny spark of light
appeared.
Someone truly listened and
began to hear,
Saw the darkness of the
tears and fears,
Got me help,
So I wouldn't kill myself.
I learned to screen out
the bad things I heard;
Learned to listen and read
the Living Word.
I learned to seek the
light that could guide my way,
Little by little, more
every day.
I found my way out of that
dark abyss.
It was hard work, but I
won, bit by bit.
I stand on the solid Rock
now.
I climb back on when I
fall down.
I still have many trials
and tests,
But I want to give God my
best.
He is with me all the
time.
More than once He has
saved my life.
Many don't understand my
devotion.
They don't understand my
dedication.
I don't tell much of my
story,
But when I do, I give God
the glory.
I should be dead.
I'm here instead.
My heart is filled with
gratitude
For all that God can do.
