Our Light and Shining Armor in the Night
We wake with a heavy chest
From our yesterday's
Regrets
Feeling disgusted and blue
Fortunately,
When day breaks
For our sakes
We are forgiven and renewed.
Evil may take us by
Night.
Temptation may win
Even though we fight...
But the Light overcomes
All dark, evil nights.
With His lamp as our guide,
We march on joyfully
At all times.
He comes to His children
When they call Him.
He gives the power to overcome
The dark master by placing strength
Within us.
Cursed are those who don't follow
His lamp for they toss and turn
In their beds
With last year's regrets,
Sin, and agony
Heavy on their chest.
They can't find strength in their circumstance
Even when the sun comes up
And dark is told to no longer dance.
Blessed are those who follow
His glorious light.
Dark and evil spirits may dance at night,
But He will forever stand by
The side of His Bride
Making sure she is safe
Throughout the fight.
Again, blessed are those who follow
His word and fear Him deeply
For even when they fall into the dark
They lift their hands humbly in prayer
To the Healer on high
To forgive them of their trespasses
Whether if it was lust, murder, or a lie
Like a Father no man can be
Completely,
He willingly forgives
Seven times seventy times His children
For stepping off His path
Into sin.
In gratitude, His children repent
Of their sin
Thus following His lamp again
On a glorious journey to live with Him
Forever in heaven.
So even though we wake with a heavy chest
From our yesterday's
Regrets
Feeling disgusted and blue.
Fortunately,
When day breaks and when we pray
For our sakes
We are forgiven and renewed.
