Let there be light


Let there be light
when your hopes have all ended
Let there be light
when your dreams have all died
Let there be light
when the world shouts you down,
Oh Lord, let there be light.

Let there be light
when your fears turn to failures
Let there be light
in the helpless, hopeless night
Let there be light
for a future full of tears.
Oh Lord, let there be light.

And I'm praying there is light
for the darkness of my soul
I'm hoping there is truth
in the things that I've been told.
I'm praying for the morning
to break the deepest night
Oh Lord, let there be light.

Let there be light
when the darkness is descending
Let there be light

when the night is closing in.
Let there be light

when you're lost and far from home
Oh Lord, let there be light

Hello Geoff. May I substitute peace for light in this? Or hope? What exactly is light? I long for heaven as I am shackled here. I cling to my Savior, and He is so faithful, always. But I think the peace I crave, the light you mention, the freedom, no fear, and LOVE will only be found in heaven for me. I read recently from someone that the 'tragedy' (that wasn't the right word) is that evil and good coexist here. I can scarcely imagine the whole world as I would a Christian gathering of any type. Come quickly Lord but thank You for not coming while I was lost.
I always thank you Geoff for revealing your deepest, good and bad.
Love in Christ, patrick

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for your comment. My little poems are there to provoke and encourage. They are little postcards from my journey from "Darkness to Light". Above all they are simply there to join themselves in some way to your own journey.
When I look for God I find him in my darkness with a small light lest I be frightened.
Have a wonderful Christmas
Geoff
