Out of the Darkness

I had fallen far,
Far into the darkness
Where human spirit could not reach me,
Where I alone exist.
And when I no longer could bear the pain alone,
I cried out in the darkness
to a God unknown.
The One I left behind
In all my foolish pride,
the One I turned my back to,
the One from whom I'd hide
Now gave Himself to me
And said "I set you free.
I forgive throughout all ages.
What once was sin
Are now blank pages.
I see a child, in pain, alone.
I'll pull you close
and lead you home."
