Black -> Blue

Black on black of holy shame I have tried to swim in vain Singing tunes about God's Name While watching joy sink down the drain. Lonely mountains know my pain But ignore my wandering heart For my mind must be insane That I would relish Satan's darts. Who have I been from the start? A man of flesh and blood? For every sea my staff must part While stilled, still weeps a flood. For many days I sat and prayed That I would be a king, But God, with all His where-with-all, Instead taught me to sing. His grace upon my shoulder Was too lovely. His love in every boulder It's too much. I can't even. Blue to black and black to blue Life an ever changing hue In the night I paid my due Now daylight breaks, and makes me new.
