A song in the night

A SONG IN THE NIGHT

By S. Staci Anderson

I have been in darkness so deep in the night. Confused, perplexed, yet waiting for Him to rescue me. So many voices flood in to overwhelm me, to cause me to fear. Yet, I hope against hopelessness to hear his voice clearl.
Like Job I find I’ve lacked understanding and in my pain good judgment is impaired. How can I sing when joy escapes me. I was taught not to question. It is rude and disrespectful. Yet, in the recesses of my mind I ask where is God my maker? How could he let this be? How could he let something so ugly hurt the child in me. So empty is this darkness, nothing to feel or see. A parentless child, not even a friend. No one to stand with me. I wonder if this sense of disconnect is what caused Jeshua to cry out “my God My god, why hast thou forsaken me?” the night has come and I know you are there. Can’t see you, don’t feel you ,can sense you no where. I am lost, injured and alone.
Find me oh Lord. Rescue me from the night and give light to my heart. And As I wait , give me dear Lord , a voice of praise . A song to sing until hope is raised. for it is you alone and none other who might, in absence of light; give a song in the night.
