Testimonies

I remember those times

When darkness crept upon me

Like a midnight adulteress.

Haunting shadows of my worries

And my burdens?

Too heavy for me to bear.

I was pregnant with despair

Trotting heavily along,

Gasping for the day –

That strand of light

That comes with the dawn –

Just one ray of hope to hold on to.

I daresay, I have walked the paths

With the blackness enveloping me,

Fear cutting deep into the unseen,

Intricate yet delicate chambers of my heart.

Going forward, look impossible.

My foes behind, to my right and left:

Twin shoulders of impossibility

On this strait cry I, “Lord, make me ABLE!”

Lo! He’s done in my life

What seemed impossible- a new thing

Am renewed and back to life

Yeah, it’s dayspring

The white, cold and dead night is long

Gone, and for now I sing a new song.

He strings my testimonies

And I wear them dangling from my neck

Their brilliance, it more than seems

Blind my fears and dispels my doubts

Beautiful gems and pearls

Better, yea, much better than gold

Though through many pressures untold
