Run darkness, run! "You, O Lord , keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light." NIV Psalms 18:28 I am a little spark of light, a bit of energy I'm sent into the darkest night to help all people see A flame I burn incessantly my fire glows deep within I'm called of God to radiate a beam of flame to sin. As God consumes illusion only truth remains to share And light and life in God replace ugly darkness there A Kingdom filled with Love explodes; angels sing in chorus Creation is connected; all life joins in God's forest. There's only one true spirit here, throughout all time and space Once shattered into many parts by darkness on the face Of planet earth by selfishness as man turned off God's source Of light and chose a selfish way, a downward deadly course. Speaking lies and making cries smothering God's Holy Light And so I glow a candle slow and send a ray to fight And yearn to burn each bit of matter consuming darkness Leaving rainbows of light glowing beautiful bright quarkness. And so I roar, as I abhor all misery and grief Search out all life to join as wife arrest the darkened thief Will you join me, accept my flame abandon guilt and shame? Glow your candle brightly, with me, explode a bigger flame? Burn hot in me; l'll burn in you, in God's Loving Pure Way Run darkness! Run! For Light is turning your darkness to day!
