The LORD is light
and this light symbolizes faith
and I have found the light in the darkness
the LORD lights up my path . . .
"I am the light of the world whoever follows me
will never walk in the darkness . . . " John 8:12
The moment I let this light in I became the light
that shines bright for others so they can find the way
and on my darkest days the light guides me
it gives me courage to go on though shattered sad . . .
"The LORD is my light and salvation, whom shall
I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life,
of whom shall I be afraid ?" Psalm 27:1
When I am lost
and the deep scars on my soul bleed
and I am hanging my head like a dying flower
I seek the light deep within me . . .
"And those who are wise shall shine like the
brightness of the sky above . . like stars
forever and ever" Daniel 12:3
O, I met death early on this life journey
but I do not let the darkness and decay overwhelm me
though my life will be always weather-stained
the LORD is my light out of the darkness . . .
"And he transfigured before them, and his
face shone like the sun, and his clothes
became white as light" Matthew 17:2
