Walking In Darkness

 

It seems as if the darkness draws
Closer to us each day.
Though we may stand with lanterns bright,
The dark seems here to stay.
 
The world is falling back once more
Into its sinful ways,
And with that sin comes the darkness,
The guilt obscuring haze.
 
I know that we’ve been here before,
This darkness is not new,
But I can’t see the path to walk
Unless I’m close to You.
 
I know that there are many more
Trapped in this darkness, too,
Who call Your name and seek Your light
Trusting You’ll lead us through.
 
For Your children all know Your voice
And our trust is in You.
The darkness that consumes this world
Can’t hold a light to You.  
 
Isaiah 50:10
Who among you fears the Lord and obeys the word of his servant? Let the one who walks in the dark, who has no light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on their God.
