Light and Darkness

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A light shone through the bleak darkness

And set the night on fire.

Though darkness sought to crush its glow,

The light rose ever higher.

 

It brushed across the mountain tops,

Burned down upon the sea

And touched the eyes of those once lost

Until they learned to see.

 

The light shone bright upon the land

Where darkness once held sway

Until even the last shadows

Withered and washed away.

 

The darkness seeks to claim the lives

Of those born in the light

And cast them back into the depths

Of gloom spawned by the night.

 

Yet, light will not be overcome.

Darkness cannot prevail

Against the grace of heaven’s King.

His Light will never fail.

 

John 1:4-5

In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
