Description: I wrote this when I was at Camp Zion in Door County, Wisconsin. I had been depressed for several months, & the speaker at Camp really got to me. Saturday, at breakfast, I just sat down and wrote my heart. This is what came out. It`s about my struggles through the years & on my dependence upon God.
Shadow & Death -------------------------------------------
Pain. Who likes Pain? Who likes Suffering?
See? Don`t you see what I`m going through?
The Shadow`s closing in.
It seems that I can`t swim out of it.
So what`s now left to do?
I`ll follow you
through Shadow & Death.
When I can`t see my way through,
Lord, I`ll follow you.
I`ll follow you,
you pull me through.
You lead me through the darkness.
Lord, I`ll follow you.
I`ll follow you.
There is an undertone of desperation in this poem, IMO and I think that comes from the repeated lines of "I'll follow you" as if you, or the writer are screaming out for guidance.
