One day I stumbled,
And lost my way,
Desperately I searched,
For the light of day.

My thoughts grew foggy,
As if in a cloud,
I was trapped in the dark,
And wrapped in a shroud.

I hung my head,
In fear and shame,
Embarrassed to have fallen,
Into such an evil game.

But then I looked up,
And I saw a lone star,
It was a beacon of hope,
Shining down from afar.

I stretched forth my hands,
As I cried out in prayer,
“Save me O’ Lord,
From my own nightmare!”

Then suddenly I stood,
In the broad daylight,
My mind was cleared,
I was freed from the night!

I dropped down on my knees,
Giving God all the praise,
Never again to lose faith,
In His wondrous ways.
