Light In the Dark - a poem by Elicia Roy

LIGHT IN THE DARK

We have been jolted,

Tested and tried,

Our times have been dark,

With some comforts denied.

Things that we clung to,

And thought our security,

Were ripped from our hold,

Caused feelings of unsurety.

“What will tomorrow bring?”

“Is there hope for this dark time?”

“Is there any more strength

For this mountain that we climb?”

The sufferings we face,

In seasons nocturnal,

Have a purpose for us,

For reasons eternal.

Though we can not see well,

For our path is unclear,

There is a way forward,

Where we can walk without fear.

The LORD our God,

He is our light,

He will show us the Way,

On the path through the night.

Our feet will not slip,

When His lamp lights our way.

The path just gets clearer,

As we move toward the Day.

The true love that He gave,

That made our hearts bright,

His Word given to us,

So that we can see His light.

There is hope in the midst,

Of the pain that we face,

As we put our trust in His love,

He’ll take us to a better place.

This is the Way to walk,

Obeying what He said,

Keeping our eyes on Jesus,

And walking bravely ahead.

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet

And a light to my path.

Psalms 18:28 For You will light my lamp;

The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
