Deep… deep inside…
In the land of sorrow… where I reside
Where only pain reigns
Passion becomes resistance
Love grows rebellious
And hope stands tall
Grief runs deep
Cutting through hills and mountains
In the caves and underground
Far beyond my reach
It was raining agony… that day
Restless… agitated… weighed down
Haunted by my nightmare
You’re never coming home
Looking up… into sky
Yelling for help
My soul whispers
Here I am God… exhausted… give me your hand… come to my aid
Here I am God… full of sorrow… and anguish…ease my pain
Here I am God… hurt and tired… help me…hold me… heal me
Here I am God… lonely… be my friend and companion
Here I am God… lost… guide me… show me the way
And like a dazzling morning at the crack of dawn, dispelling all darkness
Like gentle rain drops drizzling over a parched piece of land
Like a rainbow flowing piercing through thick murky clouds
Like sweet scent of love drifting capturing your heart
Like a velvet ruby rose blooming right before your eyes
Like a soft warm blanket in a cold winter night
Like a tender mother’s hand stroking her child
I felt
God’s loving-hand
Then…
Then this sweet… sweet comfort
Gently overwhelming
Lovingly embracing
Tenderly holding
Magically transforming
That distressed soul with a troubled heart
In this land of sorrow
Suddenly
Pain is overthrown and Passion reigns again
And sweet… sweet comfort falls down as rain
Calm descends
Serenity prevails
Tranquillity enfolds
Joy blooms
And sweet… sweet comfort falls down as rain
