THERE IS A DARKNESS
There is a darkness,
loose in the land
twisting and turning
in vicious hands.
Violations of innocence,
truth concealed,
under shadows of vanity.
In time
revealed.
There is a darkness,
a challenge in every prayer
attacking a weakened vessel,
swiftly sent from open air.
As red and blue lights flashing
danger signals
bright
Troubled hearts admonishing,
their lives may not be right
We work to build the kingdom
of excellence on Earth,
waging war with darkness,
so the lost can have rebirth.
And in each heart a story
of hardship overcome,
their journey to the brightness,
God’s mercy to someone.
There’s glory in the promise,
that one lost sheep is found,
to harness greater darkness
with Godliness
profound.
As fishers of the soul
cast nets where catch is many.
There was a darkness in some lives.
Now,
there isn’t any.
