Dependence
by Michael Doyle

When the days are darkest
That's when we need your light
Keeping hope alive when we're saddest
You bring morning to our night

Keeping hope there and alive
You are the source by which we survive
Walking beside us in our humanity
And loving us despite our vanity

Though difficult at times to conceive
It is our path to simply believe
In the worthy promises that are given
And in the hope delivered in being forgiven

This is our day of special celebration
As baptism gives us our holy destination
Today is the day another journey begins
It is for our God on whom we all depend
