In my darkest hour
You are my bright and Morning Star
When my head hangs low
You are the lifter of my head
When tears fall I remember
One day you will wipe every tear from my eyes
Even when I feel alone
You are my Friend who will never leave, nor forsake me
When life leaves me burnt, devastated and scarred
You bring forth life, growth and renewal
From the depths of sin
You redeemed my soul
From the edge of destruction
You snatched me from the enemy’s hand
When I feel as if I can’t go on
You lead me through dark ravines and narrow canyons
When my foot slips on the dangerous precipice
You uphold and steady me on the path again
When weakness overtakes me
You strengthen and sustain me
When doubts assail me
You keep my mind stayed on Thee
When my circumstances demand an explanation
Your presence is all that I need
When nothing around me makes sense
I trust that Your eternal plan being worked out
When I am heavy laden
I go to the One who bids me to come for His burdens are light
When decisions demand an answer
I come to You for wisdom
When I am restless with uncertainty
Peace and comfort are found in You
When pain consumes me
I turn to the Great Physician
When the wait seems long
I will wait upon the Lord
When no one seems worthy of my trust
I will trust in the One whom the Father declared worthy
When my trials seem big
I will run to Him who is bigger still
When this lamb is lost and has wandered far away
I cry out to the Shepherd who will seek and find me
When death presses down on me
I look forward with eternal vision

Dedicated to the many people who are bearing heavy burdens, when explanations are few. May you continue to trust in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…and cling to Him ever so tightly.
