Dear Lord

 

Dear Lord

Dear Lord, please come,
step softly into my trembling night,
wrap me in the warmth of Your arms
until the storm within me grows quiet.

Please hug me,
let Your heartbeat drown my fears,
let Your breath whisper over my wounds,
turning them into gardens of hope.

Please tell me
that all will be alright—
that the darkness is only a passing guest,
and the dawn is already on its way.

And until the sun rises,
hold me, Lord,
so I remember
I have never been alone.
