Into the deep

When everything around you burns
when colours drain;
step into the deep

When all you’ve known and thought and held
is shaken
when there’s nothing left to lean upon;
step into the deep.

When wind and waves rise from the deep
and rage about your sodden feet
and threaten you;
step into the deep

Lift your eyes from that place
dare to look upon the face
of Him who moves your soul with grace
and will hold your shaking hand.
