The Light Shall Overcome the Night

When you find yourself alone in the shadows Void of peace and tricked by deceit, Know that light flushes out the dark And there's a light deep within your heart If you find yourself in a crowd blind of clear sights, Remove yourself from their company, and find some light It will always be darkest before dawn So prepare yourself a light Because darkness will surely come For shadow shrouds over everyone and everything, Never are you alone when the night comes to cling We all share the same sun and the same moon But with life comes fire, let us use it to banish the present gloom Together, when we all contribute to the fire We can create warmth and huddle around the campfire Until this present darkness expires Some may be lost within the pitch black, and absent day Some may even run wild in search of prey But know this.. Within your heart can start a spark, The smallest fire can give birth to soaring flames So bright you might even forget the darkness even came The light shall overcome the night, breaching through the skies So hold fast to your light, whatever it may be A candle, a torch, a lantern, or even the full moon shining across the seas and stars GOD never gives us more than we can handle So hold strong to your BLAZING candles

Justin, I don'know how I missed this inspirational piece. The message of hope, encouragement and overcomer speaks loud and clear. Light does overcome darkness. I concur God doesn't give us more than we can handle. You have written some life changing lyrics with a powerful message. Outstanding! You get a 7 from me :) Alexis
