Poem
A dark and evil creature Pursued a man today. He tried to run, He tried to hide, But the darkness followed him. He ran down the street, And around the corner. He ran up the stairs And through the door, Yet the darkness followed still He shut his doors, Turned on his lights, And tried to find some peace; But even in his lighted house, The darkness still was there. “Oh, foul creature, What can you be, And why do you pursue?” For a moment, silence reigned, Then the darkness answered him. “I am your sin, Your dirty deeds, The things you try to hide. Your sin cursed soul, is what I am, The darkness within you. There’s a price to be paid For this lack of light. Eternal fire, torment, and pain Is the price that you must pay For this darkness inside you.” “Oh woe is me!” The man then cried. “Your price is much too high! Is there no other way to pay?” But the darkness in silence remained. A knock at his door Pierced his despair, And he trudged to it to answer. There stood a man with a smiling face For no darkness followed him. The stranger at the door said, “I can see, That you are in despair. What troubles you?” and the man replied, “That darkness over there. He says, I’m doomed, To eternal fire, And doomed to eternal pain. Do you know a way for me to escape That darkness over there?” “A man named Jesus,” The stranger replied, “The Son of God once came. He shed His perfect, precious blood, That darkness to send away. The price for sin Was paid in full when He died and rose again. His sinless blood can wash away That darkness deep within. This gift of love Is free for all, It gives eternal life. Beautiful Heaven can be your home, A place that darkness cannot go.” “What must I do?” The man then asked, “So this gift I can receive?” “Call unto God, acknowledge your sin, Your darkness then confess, And accept His gift Of eternal life, Eternal death forsake. His blood will cover all your sins, And the darkness then will fade” “Oh, God,” the man prayed, “I accept your gift, Please wash away my sins. Come into my heart and lead me today, From darkness into light.
