There's a place inside her that is darkened
She fears the lives of those around her fade.
All inside her mind, there's a black spot and
Now she wishes in the light she'd stayed.

She doesn't think that she can bear the burden
It presses down upon her like a weight
The voices cry around her to let go, but
She is too afraid of what's at stake.

She cries out in wont of such a helper
As one who seemed to be there long ago.
He'd comfort her; always gave her shelter
But now it seems that he has let her go.

Her struggle only seems to bring her lower.
The thought comes to her mind to just give up.
Just when she thinks nothing else can save her,
Her godly savior comes to pick her up.

Now whenever her steps seem to falter,
She will send her prayers to Him above
Who she screamed back to when he came to call her
And now He sends His own to her in love.
