The Terror Within

The Terror Within

9/8/2012

　

Must I close my eyes?

Must I sleep?

The darkness use to bring me sweet slumber,

But those are days of old.

Now all it brings is terror, heart pounding fear.

I close my eyes,

horrible visions blur my sight;

visions of death.

My heart pounds as I run for my life.

I scream in terror

as I see those I love hunted.

I awake shaking, wailing, breathing heavily.

Anxiety overtakes me.

The visions are far too real.

Waking brings relief no more.

Oh, that the light of day

would bring peace to my soul.

Desperately I cling to You.

How I long for Your peace.

Give me rest...

My heart cries out in pain.

Oh, how I need You Jesus

to set me free from the terror within.
