In His Care

My soul was downcast and weary,
That dark and gloomy day.
I truly felt, with deep despair,
The world was fading away.

Down by the turbulent waters,
Helplessly I stood.
The black ocean in its fury
Seemed angrily to brood.

Yet the beauty of it all
Stretched across the endless sky.
In hues of faded pinks and golds,
That sunset bathed my empty life.

The clouds were edged with silver,
Shining alabaster, pure.
The vast heavens became like open arms,
Welcoming and secure.

Where dismal thoughts and hopelessness
Had once brought many tears,
Came a brilliant ray of sunlight,
Overshadowing my fears.

As the gentle breeze caressed my cheeks,
Blowing softly through my hair,
I realized that my very life
Was in my Savior's care.

No longer would I worry,
When I have no strength to stand,
For every time I fall I know
He's there to hold my hand.
