UNWELCOME DARKNESS

O Lord, dear Lord, this child of ours
is hidden in a cruel cave.
It’s dark in there, so densely dark
she has become its slave.

O Lord, dear Lord, please show to us
the way to help her spirit turn
to face Your radiant loving Light.
Help her heart for You to yearn.

O Lord O Lord, it’s only You
who overthrows the Enemy.
Please come and crush him there
and set our dear child free.

We thank you now O Lord;
We praise You evermore.
In sorrow and in joy
we pray with one accord.
