I reach out my hands, to the lord my God
trying to grab the light.
His promises echo deep in my soul
a spark in the darkest night.
I battled in anger too long and too hard
I was battered and shredded inside
I longed for His for grace with a ravenous need
the hunger would not be denied.
I open my soul to the sound of His word
as His song beats a tune in my heart.
Oh my glorious God fills my colorless life
with a Sun that will never depart.

I'm not sure this one is finished, but I wanted to post it for some feedback. I used the word sun, to reperesent the light of the Son of God. I'm wondering how that works. Thank you for reading my work.

Oh Patti I think this is such a beautiful write. My favorite part is
I open my soul to the sound of his word
as His song beats a tune in my heart.
That line just brought a smile to my face. So inspirational and written with your heart. Well done my friend. -
Thank you for the advice, I made the change you suggested. I also made a few other changes hoping to clarify that I had turned back to God and he had brought light back into my life. Patti

If you give us all this anger and forgive, you will find peace in Him. all the His' shoudl be capitalized in these lines if they refer to God. Well written. Sentiments well espressed, easy to read and understand.
