Light Vs. Darkness by Danette Kettwich I sit in the darkness; I cry out in the night. Shadows all around My life is full of fright. I feel dark upon me, An eerie mist of sin Tugging at my heart, Begging "Let us in." Beyond the dark I hear, Calling out my name, A faint yet fervent voice, "Darkness I will tame." Still I let the darkness Eat this heart of mine. Yet linger did the voice, "Do not cross that line." "Survival here is worth More than you can see. Reach towards the light Darkness it will flee." One night the dark was More evil than before. The voice spoke gently, "Open up Light's door." I called out to the Light, The Voice bidding me. I cried out, "I need you." "Lord, please let me see!" "Help me get beyond, The dark restraining me, Let me see Your glory, Set this captive free." Then the evil shrieked; The murky darkness fled Great Glory shone around In the shadows stead My life has another captor The darkness stays away The Savior of my life holds The sinister dark at bay. Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation—so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble? NLT |
