The hope has turned to pain, tears fill my eyes;
\nthe past is awash in mistakes;
\nenough to drown a man in sorrow,
\nhope for a better tomorrow seems like a candle in the wind.<\/p>\n
No hope of staying bright, no hope of finding the light;
\nyet, there is One who shines in these times …
\nOne who walks, whispers, and guides me.<\/p>\n
My weaknesses He knows,
\nmy heart He has held;
\npain is retreating,
\nwhen His arms are around me.<\/p>\n
Healing comes like the dawn after a storm;
\nbright and clear, clean and warm.
\nMy heart heals and blessings are known;
\nwith His blood all wounds are sown.<\/p>\n
