Field of White

Hear me, Oh God
Your broken child in spirit.
Sinking into the depths of darkness
Where Your light seems forever trapped.

Hear my sobs of loneliness and suffering,
Of a desperation to be something better than I am today.
To break free from the shackles of boredom and the devil’s snares,
To sing Your glory and to share in Your wisdom.

Guide me through these desolate hours
As I try to make sense of the world in which I live.
My sadness shall not overcome me,
My misery shall not be my downfall.

Teach me Your ways and let me see the truth,
To be more patient, understanding and wise.
Let me walk with You in that blinding field of white,
Where happiness awaits all those who turn to You.
