Forever and a day

From the depths of my darkness

I call out to you – my hope – my reason to live.

From under my heavy blanket of fear

I reach for you – your help – your hand to hold.

When I think I am breathing my last breath

I touch you – my life – my source of being.

I give my life to you and seek your face

for you alone are my sweet spring of salvation.

For you are my only answer – my reason – my mission.

Without your spotlight of love, I melt into blackness and am voided.

How can I repay the great debt I owe you?

How can I tell you I love you so dearly?

I fall to my feet in your wondrous halo of love

and I sing praises only to you – forever and a day.
