Midnight Hours

I should be lonely.
I should be afraid.
I should be worried.
I should be scared.

Laying in a hospital bed
there is no comfort.
Just so much pain.
My eyes water up
as tears stream again.

The only way I can describe
the feelings I have inside,
these feelings I can't hide,
is to reveal the source of my hope.

He's my constant companion,
my protector and guard,
my Comforter and Shield.
The God of Wonder
bringing amazing grace
to this undeserving man.

In the midnight hours
when the world is asleep
He brings to my heart
amazing peace to eternally keep.

Never, no never have I felt so at peace.
Never, no never have I felt so secure.
No worry.
No fear.
Just blessed reassurance
I gained when I first believed.
Always there with me
even in my darkest hours.

Thank you, Almighty God.
Thank you for my hope.
Thank you for my future.
Thank you for my trials.

It's You that helps me cope,
that helps me to be mature
so I will never be in denial.
In the midnight hours I will always know
that it was You who saved me
so in Your glory I could continue to grow.


Lying in a hospital bed in the dark at night, alone with
just the sounds of the medical equipment, knowing the
world around me is asleep, had a profound impact.
I had every reason to feel lost and helpless.  Instead, an
incredible peace and comfort emerged, with an
awareness of how awesome God is, and how real
His presence can be.
