The memories that haunt me,

the thoughts that remain,

the past and the darkness

must be washed away,

to look to the future,

to turn from the night,

to rise with the dawning

to dance in the light.

Sometimes I am fearful

and faith runs away.

Sometimes I am weary

with nothing to pray.

Anxious and lonely,

scared and alone

I long for the sunlight

to flood these dark days.

Oh Light,

Oh peace,

You come and fill these days

Oh love,

Oh grace

You come and fill this life.

The past is behind me,

it's buried and gone.

I turn to the sunlight

to carry me on

The future it calls me,

I wish to be whole

to live in the daylight

with peace in my soul.
