Darkness Is As Light

 

I stand within the shadowed lands,
My eyes fixed on His light.
Though I may walk in darkness now,
I do not fear the night.
 
For I am called to follow Him
Whose light does not grow dim,
And I don’t walk this path alone
When I walk it with Him.
 
So many cannot see His Light,
They will not raise their eyes,
But He is patient, He will wait,
That none needlessly dies.
 
There are those who choose to turn back,
The darkness holds their soul.
Though He came to redeem us all,
Some choose not to be whole.
 
They hunt the children of His Light.
Prowling within the dark,
Hoping to steal back one of His,
Quench His immortal spark.
 
Yet, those He’s called don’t fear darkness,
For even there He sees
Those who call out upon His name.
He hears our anxious pleas.
 
He stands beside me even now.
Look up and seek His Light,
That you, too, may walk this dark world
Unafraid of the night.
 
2 Peter 3:9 
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
 
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.
