Walk Away Fromthe Night

Do you see this life through other eyes
or do you still have a darkened view ?
Spend time with the One, All Knowing and Wise
and you begin to see that all things are new.

Gentle the touch of His nail scarred hand 
as Love takes your hand in His.
This Shepherd leads you on to Eternal Lands
and the Knowledge of who He is.

Deeper with meaning, these things of the Lord,
but only time with Him brings them to Light.
Walk away from distractions you can ill afford
and by this, you walk away from the night.

In the Light it is that you see who you are
and the Life that He has called you to.
The Words of this Life break the chains that bar
the Way that is sought out by few.
