there's no placed left to go
i have to reach up to touch bottom
inside what once was good
now feels as if it has gone rotten
down deep my soul is crying
reaching out with all it's might
if i can just touch the light's edge
i will hold this time so tight
dark and evil pulling me close
smothering with it's feathery touch
it lets go for just a bit
but its hold is still too much
if i can just find some strength
maybe some left from time before
and just loose its hold again
i can reach the light once more
i feel a strength surround me
as i pray with all my might
the darkness around me shatters
as forgiveness surrounds me this night
blood running red as scarlet
covers me, head to toe
blotting out every iniquity
as God's power thru me does flow
