I was going through a time where it just felt like God had turned His back on me. I felt dry and lonely. You know that melancholy feeling you get when you are just discontented. Not really depressed, just sort of bummed and discontented. This is where I was when I wrote this song.

Verse 1
As I sit in the darkness
Being deafened by silence
I start to wonder
Where are You, Lord?
But I know in my heart that
You are still with me
You'll never leave me
You gave me Your Word

Chorus
So in the shadows
I will still praise You
I'll lift my voice
Even louder than before
And when the darkness
Bears down upon me
From deep down within me
Your praises will pour

Verse 2
When it gets to be midnight
And the fear overwhelms me
I feel so lonely
That I start to cry
But You said in Your Word that
Joy comes in the morning
And Your Spirit will lift me
To the cotton candy sky
