Edge of darkness

All is dark and cold 
No light shining in
Living this earthly life 
Filled with sadness; sin
Dear Jesus has already given 
His body; his blood; everything 
Yet here we go on struggling...
Can we not accept his mercy?
Can we not see the light?
The battle has been fought well
We are promised heaven not hell
As he drifted to the edge of darkness
As he battled such pain within
Cried out unto his dear Father 
Know you not that he would rather 
Have not needed to sacrifice everything 
But without our saviour to deliver 
Without this scapegoat for our sin
We could never hope to see heaven 
For it is only through Him
That we may be delivered 
From our each and every sin
