IN THE DARK DEPTHS OF MY DESPAIR
In the dark depths of my despair,
When utter hopelessness is all I feel,
I sense God’s presence resting with me there,
A ray of light and love He will to me reveal.
When I am friendless, frightened, lonely in the world,
My Lord requires nothing at all from me,
Save to receive His healing strength and hope,
His blessing on my suffering and misery.
In every situation God can lift my aching heart
And set me free to live and work in peace.
He knows what needs I have and grants
Serenity to me, and from despair, release.
