The Darkness Deepens, Lord with me abide
Poetry and Music By Andrew Pell
A Spiritual And Inspirational Poem from All-Creatures.org

(A beautiful line from the well Hymn “Abide with me “(by W.H. Monk 1861)

The words are timeless, at times we all feel depression and are anxious and down.
We often walk around with a huge frown.
The darkness seems at times to completely over whelm us,
Everything is done with much fuss and anxiety.
We are emotionally and spiritual blind.
At times we do not seem to be kind.
There are answers we look for and simply cannot find.
Even though life can be tough, we are never ever walking alone.
There are opportunities in life we want to postpone.
We spend most of the time talking on the mobile phone.
God is taking us by the hand each and every day,
Be still and be calm, listen to what God has to say.
God is always with us, open our eyes and ears and let God take us by the hand.
With God everything is planned.
Suddenly the darkness will dissipate and we will find we are walking in a beautiful garden.
Full of life and full of joy,
The Sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, every day can be a beautiful Spring day.
All we need to do is close our eyes and pray.
God has walked this path before us, he knows the way.
A beautiful sunrise will be the start of a beautiful energised day.
