A Light Has Dawned

In darkness, I opened my eyes,

The night lay all around.
My heart was trapped within its web;
No thought, no light, no sound.
 
I lifted up a hopeful prayer
To ward off the dark night,
Asking for strength to face the fears
That flourish without light.
 
I felt deep peace wash through my mind,
As my thoughts turned to You,
And all the darkness fled in fear
As dawn came bursting through.
 
Matthew 4:16
the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.
