NOTW
A rondeau redoublé
Lost in the dark, He is my light
a harbor of hope for the damned;
He’s placed me perfectly inside
a world I’ll never understand.
I spent my youth with no real plans,
wasting days in worldly delights;
He saved me from the sins of man
lost in the dark, He is my light.
He’s the shepherd who gently guides
stray sheep like me to Holy land;
I found peace only He provides-
a harbor of hope for the damned.
I’m called to carry this command:
“Tell of how I have saved your life!
Spread My Word through this evil land
I’ve placed you perfectly inside.”
Though my doubts may fill me with fright
there’s comfort in His Holy Hands,
I pray to see now through His eyes
a world I’ll never understand.
He’s granted me grace to withstand
the sinful shadows of my life;
My faithful father’s one demand-
be a beacon, carry his light
to those still lost in the dark.
