(A Song of Deliverance (September 8, 1987),
*One of four pioneering psalms.)

When darkness was about me,
I could not see the way.
Fear and doubt attacked my faith,
Causing me to sway.

I found no words of comfort,
Then God spoke to my heart.
The power of his Spirit
Made discouragement depart.

When pain was hard upon me
And too much for me to bear,
His tender touch healed me.
His whispers calmed my fear.

From the breath of the wind,
His words eased my soul.
The light of his salvation
Is my eternal goal.

Then dawned the morning,
Weeping ceased at night.
He made the sun to shine
With his glorious light.
