Taking Over My Soul

Dark, thick clouds surround me.

In the sky

and in my mind.

Pressing down, threatening

Filling my eyes

and filling my spirit

And yet, if I peer our.

Peer out through the clouds

Peer out into eternity

I can see it shining clearly.

A light out of the darkness.

steady, warm

bright, strong

A candle burning

a shaft of hope

cutting through despair

A beam of love

The Son's scarred hand reaching to me.

Clearing the sky

and clearing my mind.

Lifting and encouraging

Filling the sky

and filling my eyes

Peace sets in, comforting me,

Taking over the air

and taking over my soul.
