I’ve seen the darkness all around.
I’ve felt its cold grip so abound,
In the streets and on TV
And in the schools for all to see.
*
I’ve heard the darkness in my home.
Sensed darkness in the loved ones gone.
In my day and in my dream,
On the news and in the street.
*
I’ve known the darkness in my sin.
I felt how darkness stirred within.
In my heart and deep inside.
T’was surely there – it could not hide.
*
Why did you come? You knew full well.
Why did You chose to come and dwell,
In our hearts and lives and still,
To love despite our darkened will?
*
You are our only hope today.
Your Light sends darkness on its way.
Your Light will set our hearts afire.
Your Light will fill our deep desire.
*
Thank You, Jesus, for your Light.
Help us to see our deep dark plight.
Help us to let You in this day.
So darkness flees and Light will stay.
*
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
