From Darkness Unto the Light

It was God in Christ who reconciled
a darkened world without truth.
His Lamb slain, so meek and mild
was resurrected as the ultimate proof.

We are turned from darkness unto the Light;
when we come to receive that truth,
we live the desire to do that which is right,
our changed lives are the ultimate proof.

Once lost and now a world to gain,
we reach this one soul at a time.
Seeking to lift them from places of pain;
to not do this would be the ultimate crime.

Well said brother, full of truth, our changed lives are the proof that we have come from darkness into His light. Wouldn't it be nice if some-one came to Jesus through our poetry. What a blessing and a testimony to God. Keep writing and praising. Leon
