In me there is darkness, But with You there is light; I am lonely, but You do not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with You there is help; I am restless, but with You there is peace. In me there is bitterness, but with You there is patience; I do not understand Your ways, But You know the way for me.โ โLord Jesus Christ, You were poor And in distress, a captive and forsaken as I am. You know all manโs troubles; You abide with me When all men fail me; You remember and seek me; It is Your will that I should know You And turn to You. Lord, I hear Your call and follow; Help me.

The bright day of Christian community dawns wherever the early morning mists of dreamy visions are lifting
