A Little More About...
Though I Sit in Darkness
I wrote this song for a friend who lost her son unexpectedly.
The chorus is based on two Bible verses that pressed on my heart as I sat in my own darkness.
This song also exists in Icelandic.

Lyrics
V1
How wretched is the shadow
Of goodbye without hello
The void of deepest valleys
When I had to let go
How lonely is the pain
Of pretending I'm ok
Of that tragic farewell
I never thought I'd have to say
Chorus
Though I sit in darkness
A light shines
And darkness shall not overcome
For though I have fallen
I will rise again
Darkness shall not overcome
V2
Shadows dance around me
And I have lost my might
But even the smallest flame
Can put up a big fight
The radiance of You
Dissipates the night
Darkness shall not hold me
I can see the light
Bridge
Night is quaking
For dawn is breaking
V3
I walk along with sadness
Its reach is like the tide
Sometimes it laps at my soles
Sometimes I'm trapped inside
This grief has found a part
Of my heart to abide
I sit back down in darkness
When I just need to hide
