The Shadow of the Cross

I will turn my eyes toward the cross
and wait there for God.

The sky may be overcast,
the clouds may block the light,
but I have faith that God sees all.

He knows my heart.
He feels it beating,
even when I turn away.

Surely when I stand
at the foot of the cross
He will draw me close,
wrap me in His grace
and carry me.

He will be there
even when the clouds block the light.
Nothing can dim the Light
in the shadow of the Cross.
