Lost in His Embrace

Another day has passed,
And the love I once knew seems to fade
Like the setting of the sun.
I lay in the stillness -- in the darkness of the night,
And feel as though it is swallowing me up
Dragging me down to the deep pit of despair.
I feel empty -- lost.
Tears run down my face -- my stomach vomits.
Curled up on my bed I cry out --
I cry out to God.
"Why! Why, Lord, did this have to happen?
Where were you when my love slipped away?"
I lie in wait for a response --
My soul in agony
As if to face my fate.
I hear no voice come down from Heaven --
No light is shining on me.
For a moment all reason left me,
And I wondered if He heard my cry,
Or if He was really there.
Before I closed my eyes to try to sleep
I felt an overwhelming sensation --
Something familiar, and yet, something new.
I could almost feel God's arms around me
As peace came undeniably over me.
Lost in His embrace, I fell to sleep --
I fell asleep in God's embrace.
