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.
