Barren Soul


by Donetta Robben

Falling on my knees

tears stream from my eyes

I try to pray

nothing comes

my soul, empty like the tomb

Where is my Lord?

I close my eyes

longing to see a glimpse of light

darkness prevails

my cheeks stained with tears

Where is my Lord?

my soul hides itself

within the hollows of my body

Where is my Lord?

my soul longs for His touch

and when He reveals himself

my heart will leap for joy

dancing in His presence

praising His holy name

His love completes me

remaining alone

in the shadows of the night

my soul never loses hope
