                                                        I wake a dream molded a man

                                                            the shadow in my mind,

                                                        I could not see the Savior there

                                                            while tested in darkness,



                                                        the rainy days that never last

                                                            when orders are posted,

                                                        words of reasoning seem long

                                                            knowing a path to follow.



                                                        I shall search for the truth in Him

                                                          with trials tried and purified,

                                                        why should I bow to this Master

                                                          strengthening my devotion?



                                                      Peace came and tears fled away

                                                          in my home with my family,

                                                        God’s Son shining a light on me

                                                            beaming a new beginning,

                                                     

                                                        the night in the valley of weeping

                                                            pain and sorrows away,

                                                        my dear Jesus made me whole

                                                            his death saved my soul.



                                                        Whiter much whiter than snow

                                                          my sins lost on the cross,

                                                        seeing the shadow in my mind

                                                              being the centurion,



                                                        high commander of the platoon

                                                              at the cross of Calvary,

                                                        yet something drew me closer

                                                          surely Christ was innocent.



                                                      Calling me from a world of grief

                                                        the power of prayer in heaven,

                                                              my soul marched on

                                                            escaped my own snare.
