Amidst my life, the world explodes br I see my plans and hopes erode br Assumptions break apart as glass br Swirling down into a dark morass br br A Specter through this vortex hovers br Darkened clouds pull back the covers br A deadly phantom, now no stranger br Yet where I sit I know no danger br br God turns this darkest night to dawn br Though death trumps his mortal pawn br The reaper grins with ghastly glower br But his cursed bell is null of power br br Death's knell last pealed at Calvary br When Christ arose to set us free br From His broken tomb away we fly br Beyond the glint of fading sky br br Jesus Who died bids me be wise br So from my ends a victor rise br The stormy eye that threatens me br Shall be slain by faith it cannot seebr br Mark Waltersbr br
