The Dark Times

The dark times come and try to blind my vision
These dark times come to trick me from seeing You
The dark times come to trigger fear in me
These dark times come to make me start to doubt

And my sins; They kept coming back to me like a chorus on replay.
I was focused on my desires and I forgot all that He says.
The devil took advantage and disguised sin through my desires.
Deception fed to me like wine to leave me drunk in lies.

Conflicted I asked…
So will your promise really come to be?
Could you open my eyes so I could see?
Because I’ve been waiting for so long Lord
That man you said I will be, is he me?

I lost sight of the Light who always kept me out of darkness
And when I stretched to reach out I saw that He always was already near.
I had closed my eyes to the Truth.
Me.
And I rid myself of your goodness.
So next time the dark times dare come my way,
I know I have a light who can drive it away.
