Era Of Tears Poem by Danny Speicher

In the silent darkness
I sit and ponder Your plan
Where You are taking me
And where exactly I stand
I wonder about my future
And, I reminisce about my past
I think about the joys I've had
And how they didn't last
You are the One Strong Fortress
That I can count on through it all
My rock of my foundation of faith
That still stands so firm and tall
But, still I hurt and still I cry
I suffer through this life
It seems my pain will never end
And all I see is endless strife
So, Lord help me through
This bleak era of tears
Clear me of my anger
And hold me above my fears
Give me strength to find hope
And hope to find love
And let my light shine above all
Until I rise to You, above
