It was in the dead and dark of night
I was quaking in my spirit and nothing was right
I looked around me and nothing could I see
But I knew something was there, it was staring at me
Then I could see it’s beady eyes, looking all around
Looking to and fro, then up then down
It started to move, I was quaking in my skin
Was it in my mind, playing tricks within
In my mind I was trembling with fear
Was God around or was He even near
I cried out loud and dropped to my knees
Asking in a prayer if He could help me please
I knew not, what this was all about
Or who this is, was he big or stout
I heard this voice, gently speaking to me
He spoke to my heart, drawing me unto Thee
My heart began to change, transforming within
I started to read His Word and discovered it was my sin
I confessed my sin, forgiveness is what He gave
For He is true to His Word, He’s faithful to save
His mercy and grace was bestowed on me
All because He died on that tree
With fear and trembling is how I live
I gave Him my life, now service is what I give
He paid my ransom, my debt is now paid
The condition of my sentence is faithfully waved
His grace and mercy I could never earn
But the depth of His love is what I live to learn
I no longer live in fear or afraid in this fight
Jesus is my life, for Jesus is my Light
