Faith

In the middle
of the darkness,
in the middle
of despair,
I cling to the knowledge
that God is still there.

When the fires
fall upon me,
when the waters
race and flood,
God keeps me from burning,
He pulls me from the mud.

His strong arms,
they hold me,
and He does not
let me go.
In the middle of life's sadness,
He allows my faith to grow.
