Light and Dark

We walk this world in troubled times,
Evil strives to prevail,
But there is still light in the world
And His light will not fail.
 
The darkness claims authority
That it cannot sustain,
Its pretense of self-righteousness
Does not grant it domain.
 
Loud, the demands that all submit
To false gods of the dark,
But this world still holds to the light,
In each heart burns a spark.
 
Though I am weak, I’m not alone
In standing for the light.
My faith does not rest in myself,
But in His truth and might.
 
The dark may break me, bone by bone,
It’s done far worse before,
But my heart and my trust remain
In His light, ever more.
 
Psalm 112:7
He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
