Do Not Despair

Do not despair
‘Though you hear the cries
Of suffering and sadness around you
‘Though you walk through the valley of death
With fear in your heart
Do not despair

Do not despair
If the one you love has been taken from you
If the divine flower of life has been extinguished
Do not despair

In the darkest hour
In the moment of empty desolation
There shines a light
You may not see it, but it is there
It is the light of the one that made you
The one that made your beloved
And the one that shaped this world

In the world of shadows there is the seed of light
So when you step into the gloom
Do not be afraid
A hand will guide you
It is my hand
It is the hand of your angel
It is the hand of the one that made us
Bringing us together in this moment
Now and forever

More glorious than hope
More radiant than joy
You and I are loved
