whatever became ash

Some kind of darkness I'm in,

always stumbling yet managing to forge ahead,

groping, hoping for the visions within,

To guide me to my daily bread,

and yet somehow when the hope inside,

begins to die and fade away,

how You bring me to your side,

ensuring despondency does not lead me astray,

and now i know i am tethered,

to a purpose greater than my continuous falling,

because for every storm i have weathered,

it has brought me to a deeper understanding,

And now my mind has made an u-turn

in learning to trust You and not be frustrated,

that after the fires came to burn,

whatever became ash will be compensated...

Some kinda darkness I'm in,

the kind that engulfs,

the kind that tells me,

the dawn will never open its eyelids

and every battle i have failed to win,

has snuffed out the flames within,

yet amazingly,

i find You even as my heart bleeds...

and now i know i am tethered,

to a purpose greater than my continuous falling,

because for every storm i have weathered,

it has brought me to a deeper understanding,

And now my mind has made an u-turn

in learning to trust you and not be afraid,

that after the fires came to burn,

compensation will be paid...

sever not this chord,

it is the only thing that ties me to life,

i can no longer afford,

to wallow in the after-math of life's every strife...

I just wanna embrace,

whatever it s You have set out as my journey,

though I'm out of breath and slow is my pace,

walk with me towards my destiny...

For  now i know i am tethered,

to a purpose greater than my continuous falling,

because for every storm i have weathered,

it has brought me to a deeper understanding,

And now my mind has made an u-turn

in learning to trust you and not be frustrated,

that after the fires came to burn,

whatever became ash will be compensated...
