In Your Name
In Your name, I whisper low,
I am afraid, the dark does grow.
But I should not, I must be brave,
You are near — my soul to save.
This part now, it shakes my chest,
Hold me tight, grant me rest.
I don’t like this shadowed space,
The negativity, this silent chase.
It hurts a lot, it cuts so deep,
Even in dreams, I lose my sleep.
In Your name, I seek the light,
That I may stand and choose the right.
I hope I have the strength to stand,
Though storms may rise and cloud the land.
You are the greatest, strong and wise,
Please stay near, beneath these skies.
I hope You’re by my side right now,
To clear the sweat upon my brow.
I know the answer, still I wait,
Silent lips — I close the gate.
Not in pride, nor loud display,
But in sharing, soft I pray.
His story told, with voice so still,
Gives us strength, renews the will.
No need to speak, no need to say,
Don’t comment — just let silence stay.
Not being negative, not today,
Not thinking dark, just kneel and pray.
It takes more time — a slow repair,
This journey long, this cross I bear.
This is not finished, not the end,
Still more corners I must bend.
It seems I need more time to cope,
But in Your name, I cling to hope.
I hope I am strong enough, at last,
To brave the future, leave the past.
Hope He gives me strength to rise,
To see with clear and faithful eyes.
And in this pause — the intermezzo —
We lift our hearts, discuss You so.
