Lord give me light,
For that is what I need.
I am dark and there is no reprieve.
I eliminate one stress,
But another sorrow is fast on its heels.
And those that light up my life
Are never around long enough to illuminate me to You,
And when they go
It's darker than before in the places they leave.
So please give me light.
Because I flounder in situations
I do not understand and cannot control,
And yet even as I reach for you I pull back
Because I do want that power
But all I do is stubbornly plunge into darkness.
Please give me light.
