Where Do You Turn in the Darkness of Night? Where do you turn in the darkness of night? When your dreams are broken and shattered Your tears flowing forth-no hope in sight Now knowing what really had mattered. Fragments of love in a heart that is broken Searching to find its way through Silently mourns all that was spoken Longing that mercy is true Into that darkness a light shines within The deepest parts of the soul Revealing the evil, the hearts prideful sin For which you are paying this toll Into the silence a whisper is heard A gentle love song, a soft lullaby Forgiveness was God’s only word My Child, I have heard your heart cry My mercy is greater than all you have done It is I who can show you the way For this I did send my precious dear son On a cross your penalty pay Come my dear child, I long for your voice My desire is you trust in my love Remember, my child; I give you this choice I have all that your life is void of Where do you turn in the darkness of night? When your dreams are broken and shattered Turn the eyes of your heart to God’s Glorious light You will find He is all that has mattered The darkness you found was hidden within The crevices of your heart The scars and the guilt of your darkest sin His love will force to depart You’ll rise from the ashes of who you once were To fly with wings of a dove With His Word He has made your heart pure You are held by the strength of His love
In the Darkness of Night
Sin breaks our hearts and spirits, separating us from the only source of light, hope and love. Separating us from our creator. Because we were made to have a relationship with God. Outside of this relationship, we live in the darkness of night. However, to be able to understand righteousness, love, and glory–it was necessary we be given choice. I cannot love fully what I have not be given the right to choose to love. Therefore, in the darkness of night, my heart was broken by my own sin. That is, until one day, He shone the light of His love into my heart. Thereby He transforms me day by day. Shining His light into the darkest crevices of my heart. Therefore, taking all my brokenness and replacing it with His Gracious Love.
