Dark Dark Are The Waters Around Me – Hymn Lyric
Dark, dark are the waters around me,
No star sheds a beam on my night;
Has darkness eternally bound me?
I’m drifting, I’m drifting from light.
Chorus:
Oh! where am I drifting?
Oh! where am I drifting?
Oh! who can foretell me my doom?
Oh! where am I drifting?
Oh! where am I drifting?
Out into eternity’s gloom!
The highlands of heaven I’ve sighted,
Far from them I meaningless roam;
Its glories eternal I’ve slighted;
I’m drifting, I’m drifting from home. [Chorus]
No trace can I see of earth’s shore-lines,
No sound of her joys or her cares;
Alone on eternity’s confines,
I’m drifting, I’m drifting, oh! where? [Chorus]
The spell of eternity holds me,
Eternity’s secrets are near;
‘Tis sin‘s gravitation controls me,
I’m drifting forever, I fear. [Chorus]
Back, back fly the curtains of darkness
Revealing eternity’s death;
Amid all that horror of blackness,
Alone and forever I drift. [Chorus]
Meaning of Dark Dark Are The Waters Around Me
Life, at times, feels like an endless expanse of waters, dark and foreboding. As if no star sheds its comforting beam on our nights, causing us to question our place and direction. These moments can be profoundly isolating, leaving us adrift, feeling the weight of eternity’s gloom and the chill of an uncertain doom.
But lets take a breath, close our eyes, and dive deeper into these feelingsnot to dwell but to understand and transcend. The darkness we face, the feeling of drifting away from a sense of home or purpose, is a part of our human journey. In these moments of profound separation and questioning, there lies an invaluable opportunity for self-discovery.
Where am I drifting? This question is more than a cry into the void; it is a call to turn inward. It invites us to explore the depths of our souls, to confront our fears and understand the currents pulling us away from our light. We often sight the highlands of heaventhose moments of utter peace, joy, or fulfillmentonly to feel that we have slighted their glories and are now roaming without aim. But know that this feeling of drifting, as unsettling as it may be, is not the end of our story.
In the silence of these dark waters, let us listen. Listen not for the sounds of the world’s joys or cares, but for the whispering currents of our inner selves. These whispers hold the truths we’ve been avoiding, the vulnerabilities we’ve been shielding, and the humanity we’ve been denying.
The gravitational pull of sin, or the weight of our past mistakes and regrets, can feel like an unyielding force, propelling us further into the abyss. But within each of us is a beacon of lighta glimmer of hope and truth that remains untouched by the darkness. This light is our inner compass, guiding us back when we feel most lost.
As we peel back the curtains of darkness, we may initially be confronted with the horror and blackness of our deepest fears and regrets. But remember, in this confrontation, lies a powerful liberation. Acknowledging our darkness allows us to embrace our light more fully. It is in the deepest despair that we find the strength within us to rise, to direct our sails towards the highlands of heaven once more.
Let us be gentle with ourselves on this journey. Self-compassion is not a luxury but a necessity. As we strive to understand where we are drifting, let us remember we are not alone. Each one of us shares this human experience, each of us has moments of drifting and grounding.
Embrace your vulnerability, for in it lies true strength. Recognize your humanity, for it connects you with every soul on this planet. Allow your truth to unfold, however painful or difficult, for it is your path to true freedom.
The darkness around us is not eternal. We carry within us the light of our souls, the essence of our spirits, which can never be extinguished. It is our guiding star, the beacon that will always lead us home.
So, where are you drifting? Perhaps you are not drifting away but towards something greatera deeper understanding of yourself, a more compassionate view of your journey, and a more profound connection with the world around you. Trust in your light, and let it guide you back to the shores of your true home.
In the stillness, in the quiet contemplation of our deepest selves, we find the answers. We find the peace that has always been within us, waiting to be embraced. And as we navigate these waters, we realize that we are not drifting alone but are on a sacred journey back to the light.
