I don't hate darkness


I needed darkness to understand my light
I needed weakness to learn how to fight
There, trapped in chains and broken on the ground
Darkness has taught me that I can be found.

He came and found me many years ago

And walked beside me through sun and rain and snow...
He said He came as Light here and that if I believe
Darkness just cannot hold me and that I can walk free.

I have His light within me, even when I am found here

Though darkness tries to hold me, I hear Him "Have no fear!
Have you seen mountains falling or the hills be removed?
But even if you'll see them, My love will shine on you."

So no, I don't hate darkness and weaknesses and all...

And when I'm landing here I know it's just a fall.

I know darkness can't hold me.

I know I can get up.
I know I'm not alone here.
I know there is no trap.

"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10


"I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." John 12:46
