I felt inspired this evening for some reason. This is the result.

____

I dreamed a dream of loneliness,
Of hunger and despair,
My heart was bound by darkness,
My will was weak with fear,

But in my darkest hour,
I looked up and beheld,
The hand of Christ my savior,
Salvation on the battleground.

And in that favored moment,
I looked into His eyes,
I saw love everlasting,
was lying just behind.

Then my heart was strengthened,
I rose and gave a cry,
Returning to the battle,
With my Savior at my side.
