The Light Shines in the Darkness
-----

The Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness cannot overcome it.
John1:5 RSV

I give Light in the darkness, follow the Light not the darkness If you stare too long at the darkness your eyes can no longer focus on me Turn people to the Light that I can be a Light even in their darkness Light a candle in the darkness - rather than cursing the darkness I can pierce the darkness, nothing is impossible for me.
One day my Light will cover this land and the darkness will be dazzled by the Brightness and melt away - then heaven will be on earth.
Until then my people must shine out my Glory so that the darkness is pierced by my love.
Only my Love can melt the dark hearts of men
Only my Love can save them
Only my Love can bring hope to a hopeless world because
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AND THE ONLY HOPE
