The Light That Breaks the Dark


The Word of God, a flame that casts out night,
Where fear dissolves beneath a tide of peace.
The lies retreat before the dawning light,
And hardened hearts begin to find release.

Where fear dissolves beneath a tide of peace,
Compassion stirs where apathy once lay.
And hardened hearts begin to find release,
As greed gives way to love’s more generous stay.

Compassion stirs where apathy once lay,
The truth resounds and silences deceit.
As greed gives way to love’s more generous stay,
The soul, once bound, now rises to its feet.

The truth resounds and silences deceit,
The Word of God, a flame that casts out night.
The soul, once bound, now rises to its feet—
Read your Bible, believe, and walk in light.
