In the Darkness

In the darkness

I come to you

I pray for forgiveness

And a peace to be

In the darkness

When I am scared

And in the pain

I take comfort in you

In the darkness

It is easy to turn away

And focus on ourselves

But that takes work

In your darkest hour

You forgot about yourself

And called out for forgiveness

To those in the wrong

In the darkness

I thank you

And I take comfort

In your love and sacrifice for me
