I clang to hope for so long

but it was no longer worth it, I thought

I held on for seven months it seemed
it felt like forever since the slightest glimpse of light


the darkness wrapped it’s arms around me

and held me tight, whispering that there was no hope



when I saw the flicker of the candle

I knew it was You



“Happiness hit me like a train on a track”

Over my rough spot I’d finally come

Praising You while looking back and seeing

Everything You provided.

You gave me a fresh start

You gave me a new home



You put my heart back together

And You gave me hope.
