Darkness Is As Light

 

I’ve walked through troubles, harsh and grim,
Through shame, despair and grief,
But my road’s never been too dark
For Your loving relief.
 
I’ve lost my way along the path
More than a time or two,
But I was never too far gone
For Your love to shine through.
 
Even within my darkest times,
Your love was a clear light
That called me back from the abyss
 Of an unending night.
 
However dark the path I walked
To You it was light still.
You kept me always in Your sight.
I know You always will. 
 
Now, when I walk a darkened path,
I know Your light’s still there,
And with it, too, Your loving grace.
I see it everywhere.
 
Psalm 139:11-12
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,” even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.
