Dogs are barking in the yard
There are rain clouds in the sky
I don’t know if they are outside or in the house
How I need your light to see my hands
I can feel the beauty in the moment
There are roses hidden in the garden
Mind is slippery, hard to stand
How I need your light to keep standing
I loose myself time to time
I can see the beauty in the dark
I reach for it hopping to touch
How I need your light to keep going
O source of all light and all beauty
O helper of the weak and the weary
I confess my weakness and poverty
How I need your mercy to seek your light
