SONG OF REDEMPTION

Just a little something I came up with, and deemed it far too sacred and sweet to simply let go to waste. Be sure to let me know what you think of it.

I sit here alone, in the cold and dark
With naught but emptiness within my heart
My body is bruised, my soul is shattered
There is nothing left that truly matters

The world around me is bleak and dreary
I feel so weak, so fragile and weary
I've neither the strength nor the will to live
There is no healing anyone can give

Oh, Narnia, what have I done?
What is the creature I've become?
Oh, where did I ever go wrong?
All I have known and loved is gone

Now I have nothing left; I'm all alone
With sorrow as hard and heavy as stone
I have strayed too far to ever come back
Where is the light, and the solace I lack?

I sink to the ground in utter despair
As my broken sobs penetrate the air
There is no one to hear my anguished cries
Save for the empty land and empty skies

I shed my tears like drops of blood and rain
I feel ready to die from this cruel pain
Yet this is my atonement for my sins
I, and I alone, must bear this burden

But as I lie there, lost in my weeping,
He comes, and He sits for a time with me
In abject shame, I hide my face from Him
For I know it's against Him I have sinned

Yet He remains, refusing to depart
He knows the woes and troubles of my heart
So many things He could have said to me,
Yet all He does is hold me close, and weep

Together, we weep till our tears run dry,
And He regards me with love in His eyes
He could have well said that He hated me,
But, no—He loves me, and He forgives me

His love is a balm to my wounded soul
He takes my broken heart, and makes it whole
He tells me: "My son, do not be afraid,
For my blood has taken your sins away."

Peace washes away my sorrows and fears
In pure joy, I wet His feet with my tears
The agony has now suddenly gone
I now have the faith and strength to go on

Now I know there's still such a thing as hope
With Him by my side, I know I can cope
He has healed my blind eyes to see the light
From this time forth, I give Him all my life

Though the journey ahead is hard and long,
The love of the Lion will keep me strong
Even when it seems there's nowhere to go,
With Him, I'll never be truly alone
