Questions In The Dark

Questions in the Dark

“Why?” I ask, with cold hard breath

Would You allow the taste of death

To touch this flesh I’ve made Your Own

Did death not die at Heaven’s Throne?

“Why?” My God Whose mercies great..

Once healed the blind and sealed our fate

With Your Own blood, You promised me

That I would live…that my eyes would see

“How?” as I sit in rags and dress my head

With heaps of ashes formed from my dread

Of tasting hell’s fury upon my skin

Will I ever know of Life again?

“How?” can the anger that now burns my cheeks

Betray this heart that for You so seeks

To find even one ray in my stone cold sky

That may ignite with hope my heart to try…

Again to believe in what You say

That My Potter can still form this desperate clay

In to a vessel of Your Great Light

To shine Your hope in my heart of night

Oh child, come rest upon this shore

Of My Living waters and breathe once more

Lest you forget our days of old

When I danced with you on streets of gold

Or how I took your hand in Mine

As We dined on Truth and Heavenly Wine

Or when you prayed to know Me more

As My tears of joy fell to the floor

With your heart so sure, but child I knew

How this day of doubt would hearken you

In to My Arms of rest sweet one

Where all doubt fades in to The Son

Where death is bound beneath My Feet

Where Life and Love do not compete

Where “why” and “how” take on new depth

As you breath in The Wonder of heavenly breath

Though pain and fear may cloud your heart

Know that My Presence will never depart

And as you press through a dark, doubtful sea

Know you are pressing in to Me

And producing an offering of Life Devine

That can only be born on a Heavenly Vine

And as it streams up from your heart of pain

It will shower the earth with heavenly rain…

And drench hates cold, hard ground of stone

With The Perfect Love of heaven’s throne

Oh Child, don’t let your troubled heart,

Keep you from your eternal part

In sharing in True Life Devine

As in holiness I make you wholly Mine!

For though you have your questions now

One day you’ll touch a thorn pierced Brow

And in that moment when all is known

There will be rejoicing over how you shone

Introducing darkness to His Precious Light

You gave your offering that others might…

Look for a ray in a stone cold sky

As they search for answers to their question, “Why?”

And see His Hope shining in your heart

As they come to Him to take their part…

In to His great plan for us all to see

His Perfect Grace and Majesty

So when the backdrop of night draws near

Don’t fall away with earthly fear…

For darkness is never defeated more

Than when we throw ourselves at Heaven’s Door

And release ourselves to the Truth made known

That all you need is in Him Alone!
