“The Abyss… Look for the Light” is a powerful song inspired by real-life dive rescue missions and a more profound metaphor of human struggle and redemption. We discuss how facing the abyss underwater or in life can lead to profound spiritual awakening and how we become lifelines for others.

Verse 1
In the blackest deep, where no light breaks through,
I feel the pull, the weight, the truth.
The cold wraps tight, the silence loud,
A soul alone beneath the shroud.

Verse 2
A lifeline tugs, a whisper calls,
Through mud and wreckage, steel and walls.
I touch the edge of life and death,
I count each desperate, fading breath.

Verse 3
The voices fade, the fear is near,
But faith ignites when light appears.
A narrow crack above my head,
A promise kept, the words He said.

Verse 4
I rise from depths where shadows reign,
With scars that speak of loss and pain.
And when I reach the world of air,
I vow to lift the others there.

Chorus (repeat after each verse or between verses 2 & 3)
Look for the light, when the dark pulls you down,
Lift your eyes up, where hope can be found.
Through mud and fear, through the coldest night,
We rise from the abyss, into the light.
