Into the darkness I have plunged,
Resolved that I may never again see the light,
At least not as bright
As I've seen it before,

But here I found a trace,
A trace of faith that I once had lost,
And have feared day after day
That I may find again.

Out of the darkness it came,
Grasping me at no defense,
Sucking me out of the calm emptiness,
Placing me again on the rim of glory,
The rim so unstable, and pure.

Teach me my trailblazers,
What paths I shall choose,
With what cares in my heart.
What must I be prepared for,
What maps I must chart.

I stand on an edgy staircase,
Wobbling my foot on the higher step,
Unable to decide whether to step up,
Or step down.

Faith, I find myself longing for,
Fear, I find drowning my heart.

The answer, I know I already know,
The actions, already chosen,

But still, I must restore,
The FAITH that I have ignored,
And have feared for too long.
