VINCENT'S POEM Lyrics

When I'm within your presence alone

Everything I see through my eyes goes black and white

While you consume my eyes with your vibrancy

When I speak to you

My tongue flows at an unforced rhythm

When I hear you

A smile transpires upon my face that glistens

I burned in pits of fire thinking it was keeping me warm

The riptide was luring me deeper into the ocean, thinking it was drawing me closer to shore

Your reassurance allows me to be overwhelmed with peace

Knowing that I do not have to agonize about the next season of my life

But, I am right in the middle of the season that I once looked forward to

Unless the Lord had helped me

I would soon have settled in the silence of the grave

I cried out, I am slipping

But your unfailing love, O Lord, supported me

When doubts filled my mind

Your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer

Psalms ninety four

Seventeen to nineteen
