Darkness in the world
Evil is unfurled
Fear in every heart
Everything receives a part
The darkness will consume
Suffocate you like perfume
Fear and terror in your eyes
Listen as the child cries

Hope remains, yet not perceived
Joy to come, not yet received
Love where hate is burning strong
Good be found where there is wrong
Those who lead must learn to follow
Him who leads us from our sorrow
Light in dark places may be found
A rescue rope for those who drown

Hard to see, and criticized
Not all yet have realized
Take the Word into your heart
No longer are you torn apart
Peace will calm the rage of war
Healing of the deadly sore
Listen to the One who teaches
He's a friend who loves and preaches

The hope of tomorrow, found today
He has loved you all the way
Upon your knees, approach the throne
Believe in Him and Him alone
Repent your sins, red now is white
He forgives them, and holds naught a spite
The darkness has crept away
Sun shines through the brand new day

"Light is sweet, and it pleases the eyes to see the sun." Ecclesiastes 11:7
