Not even you.

Are You there?
Sometimes I ask.

When you’re surrounded by darkness,
sometimes even light is hard to recognize.

But I can’t stay in this darkness any longer.
It’s driving me insane.
In this darkness I can’t see anything.
I can’t feel.
Am I…alive?
Even pain feels distant.

I must break free.

I summon all courage,
summon all hope,
summon all faith…

And leap…

Will I find light?

Will You catch me?

Can’t look back…can’t go back…
already leapt and now am falling.

Falling…falling…why haven’t you caught me?
Falling…where are You, God?
Falling…and then I realize
that You are there.
Your hands are around me,
and I am safe.
I am no longer falling,
but I am flying.
I am no longer in darkness,
but now I live in light.
I am no longer in bondage,
but you are breaking all my chains.
Slowly, you will set me free.

Now I am here.
Here where the sun shines and the rain falls but I am stable.
Here on solid ground, and here in the light.
No trouble can move me;
Your hand is on my shoulder.

A leap.
A simple leap, and You caught me.
A leap of faith…and,
a leap into your arms.
There is no place I would rather be.

…But where would I be, if I hadn’t decided to leap?
