You shone Your light
Into my dark world
Pierced the night of my sorrows
With a ray of hope
The black mist over my eyes
Melted away as Your truth
Lit up the path before me
Like beacons on a runway
You led me back
To the path of Your calling
Led me from my wandering
To the straight path
I cling to Your Word
Like a cast adrift sailor
Grips to a buoy
You keep me from going under
The lone flame in the misted glass
An island in a sea of black
A single column of light
Daring to defy the darkness
The malevolent night gathers round
Almost as if to mock
In this vastness of dark
The lamp seems so small
But bold it stands and its light shines
Each ray a valiant dagger
Piercing the black beast’s hide
Making it recoil into the corner
Though your story may seem small
It is a bright beacon of hope
Don’t hide it, don’t cover up
We so desperately need your light
