Blank space



Staring in the plain darkness
Searching for meaning
Finding purpose
Trying, hoping to see it in your Light

Looking at the ceiling
Staring at the small holes
Seen very thin rays of hope
Held on to your goodness

I am unworthy of your attention
But your love never fails
You make things happen
That I cannot make happen on my own
And I am thankful for keeping me this far

Take my hands
Please lead the way
I'm often lost
And confused
In this crazy world
Yet I still believe
One day
I will no longer be staring at a blank space
Surely, Your love will shine on my face
