Darkness -
my soul, sinks into formless depths of deep uncharted abyss,
No shape, no life, no beauty, just dark empty nothingness.
Until 4 words were spoken
4 words that caused everything to be right,
The creator of the universe
commands, “Let. . there. . be. . light. .”
In an instantaneous moment, sunlight pierced through empty dark skies
At the moment where everything else dies,
life burst into quiet places before my very eyes
Silencing the voices that led to my demise.
Golden drips of sunlight streaked down clouded window pains to my heart
And like a fog lifting in the sunlight, the deep despair began to part
I stood there, for what seemed like forever, just standing in one place
I stared at the sun as it engulfed, overtook, saturated, my face
Like statically charged particles the sunlight danced across my skin
After completely illuminating me, it began to burn within.
What once was broken pieces that I tried to keep out of sight,
Began to burst with color from the spoken word of light.
The more I understood the sun, the more my words were at a loss
This sun that brought me warmth, once hung on a cross.
Yet all around me. .
Those who I see every day
Still dead and dying
Their heart full of decay
Heads hung in dismay
And i’m left with nothing to say
They rip at their chest,
pounding their flesh
In desperation they look to the sky
Crying out with their hands lifted high
like an animal ready to fight
They plead, “Let. . There. . . Be . . . LIGHT!
Then the light around me starts to speak
Until my knees grow weak
“you have the answers they seek”
It says pointing at me
But what could it be?
“You are the light of the world” he gave me the cue
Glorify my name in all that you do!
For A city on a hill can’t be hidden
So go, Illuminate your father in heaven
And so I stepped into the dark
Oh how I wanted to run
But this light cannot be overcome
So to you I plead for this desperate human race
Let Christ’s light illuminate your face!
So wherever you go may you get this one thing right,
As you represent Christ, Let . . there. . . be. . . . light!
