Falling, falling, falling am I

Into the deep, deep pit of despair

Darkness all around

Hands reaching, reaching, reaching

Down towards me

Lifting me gently towards the light

I collapse, falling, falling……

~~~

Do not be afraid my child

Fear not for I am with you

Surrender yourself

~~~

Falling, falling, falling am i

Into the fist of darkness

I sink deep into the harsh

Hard pillow

Falling

Sinking

Drowning

~~~

Reaching, reaching, reaching

Hands upwards – I try my fragile voice

‘O Lord, oh please hear my cry’

Hands pulling, pulling, pulling me

Out of the fist of darkness

The light shines brightly.

~~~

God’s soft eyes look upon me

All is well, my child, all is well

You are safe.  You are loved.

You are worthy.  You are appreciated.

~~~

Falling no longer I am

I sit under the shelter of God’s wings

Soaring high like eagles

I am safe.

It is well with my soul.
