I cried today

I cried today

To hope's dismay
My voice it shattered
As the reality gathered

'Do not be afraid'
He bade
'For love exists
Within the abyss'

'This love I have for you
Is so simply and true
Trust and you will see
You will find hope in me'

So I looked Him in the eye
And He listened to my cry
He held me in his arms
Told me I was safe from harms

I believed every word He said
And my pain instantly fled
He wiped away my tears
Gave me love in place of fears
