Dark and Desperate

My bones are waxed, my heart is pale
Promise of sunrise seems only to fail
Tomorrow is unclear like eyes in the night
My hope is darkest before daylight

What a dark and desperate place I’d be
If not for Jesus’ love for me
It’s darkness I fear and silence I dread
Then I consider it was for me he bled

The light is gone from the back of the moon
From frail endurance I’m not immune
On my own I will not be moved
Peace of mind is a prayer unused

What a dark and desperate place I’d be
If not for Jesus’ love for me
It’s darkness I fear and silence I dread
Then I consider it was for me he bled

I think of Job when all was lost
On life’s ocean in a storm I’m tossed
I count the past when truth won out
A beacon of light will shine no doubt

What a dark and desperate place I’d be
If not for Jesus’ love for me
It’s darkness I fear and silence I dread
Then I consider it was for me he bled

What a dark and desperate place I’d be
If not for Jesus love for me
