The Light of Life

Walking in darkness, she felt alone Without a purpose, without a home. Lost in the shadows, hope mostly gone, Haunted by the twilight, the steal grey gloom Suffering, silent, in sighs she could hear The roaring thunder, the rain so fierce… While beside her, a voice spoke clear Listen, my lady, listen – He is near Resting in the spirit, always sincere Reflecting all the wonder, the joy, gentle Soothing away the doubts, the dread, the despair Reassuring the spirit that He is always here, Always speaking light into the life of those who know Him… As the light of life, the joy inside, The meaning behind every prayer, every smile, Every beautiful thing that comes to the mind, Every kindness, every hope, every faith that lets you imagine What it means to believe, to trust, to see through The darkest clouds, the haze, the mist… Into the blessings of His light, His perfect, His miracles The hues of lasting grace, the wonder that never fades, The music of a heart who can hear through the suspicions, Into the still, clear joy that exists when He is with me, Restoring, guiding, rescuing… Saving my heart and soul From the shadows that can become Overwhelming, eclipsing the serenity So the light of life hesitates on the seas, Trailed by silhouettes of the past, Troubled by the ghostly hauntings Of sadness, mourning and defeat… The light of life, though silent and free, Hears the heart’s whispers and sighs, Comforting like only His spirit might, Uplifting, calming, encouraging So that even the shadows of doubt…. Know that love will make a way out of the clouds… The light of life glistens like the stars at night, Reflecting the music inside the soul, Grace that never lets doubt know… Where the spirit gives breath… where He is, there is faith That believes, accepts, never neglects The wonder of love that was proved forevermore… When He went to the cross, Destroyed every fear, despite the tears… Gave us all the hope that remembers, When He defeated death and hell, Coming back to life, so that we could all see… He is the love that abides eternally – He is The light of life, the faith that agrees… Wherever Jesus is… That is where I hope to be Because Jesus is more than a Prince… He is the King who redeems hearts and saves souls, So that, when we leave the earth in the past, We’ll know this light of life… Throughout eternity… my heart and soul yearn for Him And someday, when death comes for me, I know that the light of life, who burns in me… Will abide, forever and always… Assuring me that He has made a way, So that all I need to do is believe – and I’ll be saved… Forever abiding in the grace That Jesus came to provide When He came to show us the meaning of life, the light That flows from those who know He is – not only life… He is love that never perishes!
