Out of My Cave
Picture from http://www.russianpaintings.net
Out of My Cave
In the midst of the cave
Haunted and torn
You called me to life
And I was reborn
“Out of the darkness
I called forth the light
Created the universe
And made your world bright
“I hide in the shadows
But they are your home
Working your will
When you think you’re alone
“Embrace me, my child
As I show you my ways
Be not afraid
As I master your days”
With fear and trembling
I reach for His hand
So scared of tomorrow
So alone I stand
Help me dear Father
To run to your arms
Show me Your love
Pour out your charms
Light my path, Light my days
As I stumble and fall
Grasping at faith
It is your name I call

PERSONAL NOTE TO ELLEN:
I like your picture in the comments today better than the one you are using on your blog right now. The picture I reference is softer coming across to me as less troubled. Please forgive my brashness but the thought need be shared with you.
May God bless,
Gary

Lol – ok I will change it. My daughter had done my makeup for me on my birthday so I thought it would be nice to post it for her, but it does not really say who I am (and it was a day before I got hit with pneumonia, so my coloring is already off). I will get to it before the end of the day. 🙂
Thank you for the kindness in which you carefully chose your words.

Thank you so very, very much. Yes, God has been so good to me through so many times that I would have just bathed in sorrow, He has lifted me up. I do post poems about the harder times, from time to time, but He does bring me out of them. Always.
Bless you lots and lots,
Easter

Ellen I loved it because it speaks to me and I can relate! We all need to come out of the caves we’ve put ourselves in or allowed ourselves to be in.

It has been a good opportunity to read and write, though. So in a way, it has gifted me with time that I otherwise would not have had.
