These shortened days keep growing longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Darkness swallowing me alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The scent of isolation spreading stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feeling like I’m left alone to die!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trapped in a cell with an invisible host<\/p>\n\n\n\n
trying to remake the heart of stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The darkness looming, the visible ghost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I need Your light, ’cause I’m all alone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s nowhere to run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hide me, God, in the shadow of your wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s no more sun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Help me, Jesus, my Lord, my King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The sky of ash and smoke collide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with the blood and tears of the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Demons trying to tear me apart inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God, give me Your word. I need Your light!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
. . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nowhere to run. Hide<\/p>\n\n\n\n
me, my<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
shadow of your wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(In the shadow of your wings!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s <\/p>\n\n\n\n
no more sun. Help<\/p>\n\n\n\n
me, Jesus,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
my<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord, my King.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(My Lord, my King!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
