Lift Me From the Night

Headwinds heavy, breath cut thin. Every step feels like giving in.

Eyes down, hope worn out. Still I hear you through the doubt.

Clouds break open in the sound. Light touches broken ground. I was knocked

down by the storm inside. Fighting truth, nowhere left to hide.

You stood above me, hand outstretched. Fear held me still.

I hadn't reached yet. Lift me. Lift me. From the night.

Chains felt safer than the fall. Pride said stand,

grace said call. I turned away, though I knew every step away was you.
