Surrendered
The Black Knight
Even though the darkness surrounds
Viscous, cloying, resinous
Even though I can’t see the ground
Lost, alone in my residence
You are a constant in my mind
Near despite the space and time
My world has never felt so small
A shattering of what I knew
Running without moving at all
I desperately need to trust you
Even, especially when chaos calls
Gone is my sense of safety
All that’s left is emptiness
Days marked by jeopardy
Dusk when my hope contests
In every second, every hour
Surrendered to Your steadfast power
Viscous, cloying, resinous
Even though I can’t see the ground
Lost, alone in my residence
You are a constant in my mind
Near despite the space and time
My world has never felt so small
A shattering of what I knew
Running without moving at all
I desperately need to trust you
Even, especially when chaos calls
Gone is my sense of safety
All that’s left is emptiness
Days marked by jeopardy
Dusk when my hope contests
In every second, every hour
Surrendered to Your steadfast power
