Out of a Dark Place - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

You lifted me Lord
out of a dark place
the pit of my self
when I tried to walk away
the path of the world
wallowing in sin
leading away from you
only to death in sin

Into your light
spared from my death
rescued from the pit
up on your eagle’s winds
lifted up by your loving hand
on your rock
I now stand

Pain in my struggles
yet joy day to day
ever singing your praises
feeling you by my side
Uncertain of my path
but trusting in you
sharing your love
in messages from you.
