Climbing the Heights

In the quiet and the dim

In the quiet and the dim
In the sorrow oft within
Thou knowst me 
In the deepest place

Within the darkest realm
No other soul may know
Yet still thy presence 
And here thy love

Doth fill the void 
Of longing and belonging
In the silhouette of starlight 
Or the shadow of sunshine

Thy love divine
Tis always with thine
Own beloved
One

For when fears would grip me
Thy hand should hold me fast 
No trial present or yet past
Thy love and faithfulness can last

For when my foot
Had ere yet slipped
Thy love did catch me 
And carry me from harm

And though this world
Of things unknown 
Doth oft paralyze 
Thy love transforms

And breathes new life
Into this dead trodden traveller
So on towards thy way
And life this day

Where ere the clouds will fog
And bog the mind of sense
Let this hope be an anchor
To rest assure

Thy love alone
Shall carry
Through any drought 
Or storm 

-Joshua Lee Foist
