Unfetter my Heart, Lord

Unfetter my heart, Lord
That I might be free.
I offer all I have
Make what you can of me.
Crack this hard shell
And mould me like new
That I might be 
A reflection of you.
What little I have
I lay it before hour throne.
Restore me, O God.
May I long for you alone.

Hope

What is life?
But this empty hole;
Swallowing humanity alive
And leaving us in the dark, 
Where shadows come to haunt us
With their ghoulish shapes 
And devilish size.
Where is the light 
That makes these shadows?
Their arms wouldn't reach 
Desperately for all souls wandering;
As if they would not exist 
But for the light.
In the dark
A silent spark
Kindled into a blaze.
Hope--unexplainable
Burns with unique chance fervor
Drawing souls toward the eternal light.
