Oh, Let His Light Come Forth - Hymn

And wilt Thou yet be found?
And may I still draw near?
From the hymn “And wilt Thou yet be found” by  Charles Wesley


When darkness carves a path
Your heading, sad remorse 
Now lost the aftermath
Oh, let His light come forth 

Where empty feelings fall
Each breath a tethered force
And angry echoes call
Oh, let His light come forth

As shackles bind your limbs
Your heart a shadowed source
Invite Him to come in
Oh, let His light come forth

And wilt Thou yet be found
The straight and welcomed course
Know He is all around
Oh, let His light come forth

A great lofty poem inviting all to let the light in. I like to think we all worship the same be same God who some may call father and other names. So I like how you ask for a His light to shine through and for people allow it in. Kudos!................... ......... .......... Plz pleez do read and comment my newest poem too.
