A Glint of Grace
The Black Knight
There’s a stirring in my heart
A match to push back the dark
A ray of hope, a glint of grace
Almost enough to see your face
Though my arms are bitter cold
My fingers crack instead of fold
I’ll find a purpose, a drive
To keep that tiny flame alive
Grace will feed the flame of faith
Until despair is left without a trace
And forgiveness shines through the night
Bringing warmth to end the frozen blight
The match may sputter and almost die
But hope grows under a watchful eye
Love is fostered by tender care
A growing flame in the icy air
As the flame burns ever brighter
Its dancing reaching continually higher
My heart will thaw from stone
And love may finally find its home
A gift so freely given undeserved
A whisper shouting to be heard
Will light a fire in my heart
And enable me to break through my dark
To reach out the hand of grace
And watch love finally find its place
A match to push back the dark
A ray of hope, a glint of grace
Almost enough to see your face
Though my arms are bitter cold
My fingers crack instead of fold
I’ll find a purpose, a drive
To keep that tiny flame alive
Grace will feed the flame of faith
Until despair is left without a trace
And forgiveness shines through the night
Bringing warmth to end the frozen blight
The match may sputter and almost die
But hope grows under a watchful eye
Love is fostered by tender care
A growing flame in the icy air
As the flame burns ever brighter
Its dancing reaching continually higher
My heart will thaw from stone
And love may finally find its home
A gift so freely given undeserved
A whisper shouting to be heard
Will light a fire in my heart
And enable me to break through my dark
To reach out the hand of grace
And watch love finally find its place
