Into Darkest of Corners

 

Should longer days than this be mine to live,

Or still shorter nights when I long for sleep -

It is here I have known You,

here You have reached,

And have gathered my mind to Your peace.

 

Though this road has wound and signs have failed,

Still Your Word has found me and purposed my steps -

And there I have found You,

Father of Light -

In the darkness,

Your Truth is my Way and my rest.
 

There is nothing so sweet, not a face or a name,

That compares with my love and my need for Your own.

Into darkest of corners, You have reached in to find me.

My heart, to Your own, may You bind -

 

By Your life, may I keep losing mine.
