55 In My Darkest Hour

When I lost sight of His face
In that one night season
Then other faces appeared
And provided the only reason.

Smiling faces – a snapshot of you
Offering flicker of hope.
So instead of letting go
I clung to that rope.

I was so close to departing
Just giving up the fight
But I couldn’t fail you
That thought became my life.

I thought God had deserted me
That he didn’t answer prayer
Then He used my love for you
To reaffirm His loving care.

I was barely hanging on
To a thread, wet with tears,
When my eyes met yours, and
Vanquished all my fears.
