Not Overcome - Re-Posted

 

I dreamed that all the world was lost,

That darkness ruled the land,
And there was no place left where I
Could hope to make a stand.

It was as if the bitterness
Of darkness held my soul
And I feared I could not escape
From darkness’s control.

But, when I woke and saw the sun
Rising at His command,
I knew that He was still in charge
And held me in His hand.

I felt the grip of the darkness
Slowly let go of me,
For dark cannot long imprison  
The soul that God set free.

John 1:5
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
