Emmanuel

When the music fades, the laughter and joy and 
Everything dreams are made up of… cease – 
In the emptiness, overwhelming sadness, in the void and in the unknowing
I proffer to Him an empty me. 
No gladness in my voice, simply tears and brokenness…
In the midst of the roaring and deafening questions of my heart,
I hear Him say, I am with you, beside you.
Do not fear… where you tread, I am there.
Your future, in your uncertainties – I am there also.
Walk in confidence – it is the confidence I give you.
For in your weakness I am your strength.
I am Emmanuel – and I am 
With you.
