Steps Into Darkness

Steps into the darkness
One backwards climb at a time
Arms flailing, catching nothing
I fall so fast, will I survive?

Drug through the angry pits
Of the deepest darkest despair
Calling out for somebody
To take a little time to care

Mercies hand reaches out
Takes in my tattered lonely soul
Helps me climb out of the pit
Dug deep by me and me alone

My first steps in sorrow
I grieve as I realize my debt
Crying, I understand his pain
To see His love, I did forget

I pray for forgiveness
Begging, honestly wanting change
To change myself, to live with him
Not to die in my sins like Cain

No more will I fail Him
No longer will I trip and fall
No longer will I hesitate
When my name he does call

The Lord takes my trembling hand
Show’s me all has been forgiven
All is well, keep moving forward
My child, don’t stray away again
