Lord, I'm here again
I've fallen into this dark place
Into a pit my own hands have dug
I've hit rock bottom
With a rock I carve another mark on the wall
To join the countless others
This isn't my first time here
Are you keeping count?
Are you still listening?
Have you turned away from me
as I have countless times from you?
If I call out will you ignore my pleas?
How can I get out?
And so I wait for you in this hard place
My soul, now soft, awaits
Will light break in from above
Will I ever see the sun again?
I'd be lost in utter darkness
Yet I've kept one candle lit
The word you spoke,
The word you promised
I have held on to it
"Hope in the Lord, all you who struggle
You who contend with Him
With the LORD there is steadfast love,
and plentiful redemption."
Indeed he will redeem the one
who dug the pit and fell
