Something Weird

I walk down the shadowed road
and look for something
What it is I do not know
something.

I listen to my pounding heart
and wait for something
What it is I do not know
something.

I gaze up at the evil sky
and cry for something
What it is I do not know
something.

My mind is torn
My strength is gone
My heart is rent
My soul is lost.

What now can I do?
Where now can I fly?
How now can I cry?
When now can I die?
Why?

Slowly slowly spinning
this wounded world waits to
suck my lifeblood from me.
Waits to kill me. Help me!

And then the darkness closes over
And then my eyes begin to dull
And then my wits begin to leave me
And then I see a flash of light!

Heaven’s Grace and heaven’s Light!
He will take me from this fight!
My own struggles worked for naught
Yet by his blood I am now bought!

I once looked up and felt only soul’s deepest pain
I now look up and see the Lamb who has been slain!
I once looked up to see the very darkest night
I now look up and see with most heavenly sight!

I once was lost in the depths of despair
I once used my will to kick against the rod
I now look up and see heaven opened
and the Son of Man at the right hand of God!
