Once I was afraid of the dark
I am blind and cannot see
I always fall, I always bleed
Once I was lost, running nowhere
Once I was standing in the dark
I feel empty and cannot speak
I always cry, I always break
Once I am dead, screaming so voiceless
Once, once and once, they were
They all happened once in the past
A tragic story once upon a time
Now I stand in the Light
Now I am living in the Light
Never will I be found in darkness again
For darkness is the absence of Light
And this will not leave, this Light I gain.
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 NIV
