Lost

Again I stood 

Shaking and trembling 

held down by its familiar weight 

Wallowing in deep misery 

Depressed. Dejected. Damned.

I could feel them moving and whispering 

turning my mind to a despondent state

They seemed so harmless that first meeting

Enticing. Enthralling. Bewitching 

I welcomed them, giving them a home 

Now the degenerate demons ruled ruthlessly.

Turning my mind to all manner of evil 

Making my appearance and speech despicable 

Wreaking my entire being

They stood firm in their purpose 

Determined to drive me to insanity 

I stood 

Groaning. Crying. Cursing 

Moaning. Whining. Begging 

Covered in filth and sores

People turned away at the sight of me

I heard the Demons ceaseless chants

Eternally damned 

Beyond redemption

Lost light

Condemned soul

Doomed to darkness

These voices never ceased

They spoke in a foreign tongue

Committed in their torment 

Of my fragile soul

They screamed in my mind

And I screamed back too

Stripped of all human reasoning

I stood undignified

Doomed to death

dreadful darkness dangerously dawning 

I screamed sorrowfully 

Craving liberating light

One last time 

Before damnation descended 

I cried out with a loud voice 

As one with no hope

Defeated. Disconsolate. Downcast

Suddenly there was a voice

Out of Zion His Holy Hill 

I AM heard my screams

I AM heard my hopeless cry 

I AM found me wandering

Defiled and Defeated

Desperate for deliverance

Crying and clawing 

Shouting at the Demons in my head 

begging to be left alone 

I AM heard my lost soul cry

He led me from the deep dark gloom

He snapped my chains and freed my Soul

I AM called the Demons

by their nameless names 

They shrieked mournfully 

The Demons doom descended 

'Depart from this body 

you cursed captives

Stay bounds in chains

Till my judgement comes'

His presence brought light

His radiance revived me

My sunken spirit soared

His breath brought life 

To my languished lungs

He spoke softly

A still small voice

Continue no more on that path 

Turn around and stay sanctified  

His word healed me

snatching me from the door of death.

I will broadcast your glorious wonders

I will show your Life-giving light

Throughout the whole world 

I was lost but you found me

Your tender mercies draws me back

Again and again

You called me out of darkness 

Into your marvelous light

The difference your presence makes

From rejected to accepted 

From nothing to something

Your Grace sustains me 

Do not let me wander from your light
