A Poem

Far into the dark
Places of despair I go
Farther and farther

Downward I go fast
Until I can no longer
Stand on my own feet

Laying bloody and
Brusied, unrecognizable
From battles I fought

Protecting me from
An outright slaughter of faith
A light from above

Light piercing the dark
Growing brighter and brighter
helping me to stand

Angels surround me
With swords drawn at my defense
Giving me a hand.

Christ will not leave me
in the dark places alone
He will send angels

Heaven's warriors
Defending this child of God
Until I can stand

Trusting in Jesus
In face of persecution
Knowing He protects

Keeping me by faith,
The faith I was fighting for,
The Promise of Christ.

My future with Him
Is a surety of mine,
Praise the Lord, I'm free!
