Growing Light
Falling.
Falling fast.
Darkness enters-
Fading from the light.
Reaching.
Reaching out.
Looking to God-
And I fall again.
Mistakes.
Mistakes made.
Satan laughing-
Pulls my growing chains.
Tightly.
Tightly locked.
Pulling harder-
Clamping my chains shut.
Let go!
Let me out.
Crying "My Lord"-
Falling to my knees.
Touching.
Touching faith.
Feeling His arms-
Wrapping me with warmth.
Trusting.
Trusting Him.
Praying for help-
Learning He is near.
Merciful Light
In the silent, starry night
I was searching for a light-
Guides me from the rocky shoals,
Helping me to reach my goals.
Looking, searching high and low,
No idea of where to go.
Lost and stumbling in the dark,
Slowly straying from my mark.
Straining, reaching, I cry out,
Hoping someone hears my shout.
Falling, tumbling quickly down,
Farther from my promised crown.
Just before I hit the ground,
Comes a voice of softest sound.
"Hold, my Child, I am here.
And always have I been near.
Turn around and look to me,
And my light I'll give to Thee.
For thee I suffered on the cross
That gold may come from dullest dross.
I have come to help thee home,
Don't forget you're not alone.
For you I paid the highest price
When I was born to give my life.
I forgive you of your sins,
Go ye forth, hold high your chin,
Turn to me in deep duress
That I may relieve your stress.
Don't forget when times are swell
To turn to me then as well.
Thee my daughter I do love,
I'm waiting for you here above."
With this light my heart doth fill
And I live to do His will.
Looking forth to that great day
When in His glory I may stay.
