the future’s light

Standing silent without fear

I felt a presence drawing near

Revealing terrors yet to come

As my heart beat like a drum

I saw my life die in a flash

I saw my family turn to ash

I saw my heart break sevenfold

I saw my tears fall through the cold

And though I thought it couldn't be

An end was there, I knew I'd see,

The shadows left me lost in fear,

Then rang a promise, loud and clear.

When you walk through seizing pain

And run alone through fire and rain

I will guard you, I'll be there,

I won't leave you, I'll draw near.

I have chosen you, my son,

And no shadows will change my plan.

I will guide you through the dark

And no one will tear us apart.

Then I woke up at the cross,

A reminder of the deepest cost

The penalty reserved for me,

Borne by one who seemed so weak.

Glorious in the fading light

A light of love flashed in his eyes

And even as alone he died,

I saw love in his fogging eyes.

That someone would bear my pain freely,

It was beyond my heart to see.

But even through my fiercest doubts,

I know he'll come when I call out.
