Woken By Panic Turning to the Only One

When you wake in the night

Hand holding your chest

Trying to cast off the darkness’s light

Woken in panic at best

 

We are all given to nightmares

Of our own pasts or futures 

Searching for a safe welfare 

Living in some tepid stupor

 

Anxiety plagues us all

Some worse than others 

And I am one of those that fall

Under the thumb of such a monster 

 

Despair and hopelessness rise

Despite being on my knees

Trying desperately to purge 

That which I seek to flee

 

I turn to the only One who can save me

I turn to the only One who can truly see me

I turn to the only One who can save me 

I turn to the only One who can heal me
