Underneath a blinding sun
- Drowning in the light around me! -
My searching heart has finally come
To find a heart seeks to surround me.

Absorbed in that strong presence till
A cloud sweeps across the sky
And blocking the light becomes very still
...That cloud, dragging shadows by.

Suddenly the darkness deepens,
The shadows seeking yet to stay
And when my heart my fear is keeping,
That presence blows the storm away.

Beautiful! my eyes now see
The same world but no longer blinded
By that same sun which now is free
To once again continue shining.

The darkness pulled my mind abroad
Exposing things I'd never found
And helping me against all odds
To let my blessings now abound.

Wrapped once again in safety by
The heart that holds me near
That deity somewhere in the sky,
Who tells nothing to fear.

And what is there but to believe Him?
...Nothing but to love;
For though I have yet to really see Him,
It was He who set the sun above.
