Darkness and Light

I couldn’t recognize the reflection in the mirror The shadow that outlined me I couldn’t see clearer I couldn’t see where the path before me leads I heard a gun shot, I covered my wound as it bleeds I felt a light gently turn me around I felt my body no longer on the ground When I returned to the path, I saw where it could lead I touched my wound and no longer did it bleed The dirt on my face and clothes was cleansed From just one wipe of his garment he erased my sins He removed the blindness from my eyes Tears fell without surprise I took a step forward and my foot made a print I stood up straight and my backbone no longer bent I took pride in my stand I felt destiny within my hand He put purpose in my heart That’s the difference between light and dark
