In the Midst of Darkness

In the midst of darkness
The shadows are close by
I feel I can't move away
It's getting harder to try.

In the midst of darkness
The Advesary laughs at me
Isn't there was way out of this?
This is my humble plea.

In the midst of darkness
It all goes cold and gray
I try to find the light of heaven
I pray that it might stay!

In the midst of darkness
I find I yearn for the light
'To conquer' isn't impossible
Father tries to lend me sight.

In the midst of darkness
I kneel in humble prayer
I use all my strength to understand
The Savior is always near!

In the midst of darkness
I lean upon my Lord
He comes to be by my side
I will bravely take the sword!

In the midst of darkness
When I feel I can't go on
I search and pray for the Spirit
And learn He's been there all along!
