Escaping the Dark

Fearing the dark

Our sinful days

Brought us to ruin

Yet, we stayed

in places made of

Darkness and of stone

There -

We were always so alone

Then light shined

Blinding as we drew near

We didn’t understand

We’d lived so long

With out any clear

Direction 

Our path seemed straight

Until the light shone

And showed us 

The way

And the dawning 

Of our hearts 

Into a world we’d 

Never known

Walking toward redemption

Never again alone

All that fear

Though it may

Rear its ugly head

Can simply ‘Go to hell!’

That’s where it 

Will find itself

In the end

And the light shines

And we still reckon

With its might

On cold, cloudy mornings 

It keeps shining bright

From deep inside

Where we like to hide…

It now resides.

“Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan— The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”

Isaiah‬ ‭9‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬
