I’ve had some dark days

Before changing my ways

I’ve grappled with fear

Before realizing who was near

I’ve searched for love

Before looking at heaven above

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

Had my heart torn

I’ve been weak

And unable to speak

I’ve longed for purpose

Before seeing it at the surface

I’ve searched for a place

To run my race

I’ve gotten turned around

While searching for solid ground

I’ve longed for a word

That deserves to be heard

I’ve tried to smile

Even laugh a little while

But God answered my call

In the midst of it all

I’ve been unsure

Felt extremely insecure

I’ve fallen far

Had to heal every scar

I’ve searched for peace

My heart can’t release

I’ve grappled with doubt

That things would work out

I’ve been on a journey

Wondering if it’s for me only

I’ve wondered what to do

If I’d make it through

But God answered my call

In the midst of it all
