Now that you have acknowledged light in me please don’t assume I am light.
For it is possible for light to dwell in darkness
Yet not possible for darkness to dwell in light
As my dark soul continues to journey to light my emotions leave trailsFor it is possible for light to dwell in darkness
Yet not possible for darkness to dwell in light
of sorrow, regret, hurt, pain, shame, deception as well as betrayal
My spirit has too often been dimmed by selfishness
Thoughts ruled by self–entitlement
Soul imprisoned within the boundaries of pride
And although light flashes throughout consistently
There seems to be a short fuse in my patience, which is needed to strengthen my faith
Darkness consumes my heart from failed relationshipsMy spirit has too often been dimmed by selfishness
Thoughts ruled by self–entitlement
Soul imprisoned within the boundaries of pride
And although light flashes throughout consistently
There seems to be a short fuse in my patience, which is needed to strengthen my faith
Darkness rules my mind over past experiences
Darkness wars with my spirit yet its light source will not allow it to be defeated
Even though it feels defeated
Battered and bruised
I somehow rise another day to fight again
And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Surrendered and committed
I pray for each of my steps to be guided throughout the rest of my journeyDarkness wars with my spirit yet its light source will not allow it to be defeated
Even though it feels defeated
Battered and bruised
I somehow rise another day to fight again
And he said unto me, “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength
is made perfect in weakness.
Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the
power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Surrendered and committed
For the light that I’m destined to become
Shall light the souls of those who choose to travel the same path as I
My journey is no longer for me
Yet it is for God’s glory
As my darkness will soon fade to light
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.”
As my darkness will soon fade to light
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single,
thy whole body shall be full of light.”
