Poetry
Danette Kettwich
9/9/2008
I sit in the darkness;
I cry out in the night.
Shadows all around
My life is full of fright.
I feel dark upon me,
An eerie mist of sin
Tugging at my heart,
Begging "Let us in."
Beyond the dark I hear,
Calling out my name,
A faint yet fervent voice,
"Darkness I will tame."
Still I let the darkness
Eat this heart of mine.
Yet linger did the voice,
"Do not cross that line."
"Survival here is worth
More than you can see.
Reach towards the light
Darkness it will flee."
One night the dark was
More evil than before.
The voice spoke gently,
"Open up Light's door."
I called out to the Light
The Voice bidding me.
I cried out, "I need you."
"Lord, please let me see!"
"Help me get beyond,
The dark restraining me,
Let me see Your glory,
Set this captive free."
Then the evil shrieked;
The murky darkness fled.
Great Glory shone around
In the shadows stead.
My life has another captor
The darkness stays away
The Savior of my life holds
The sinister dark at bay.

This world of lost men and women lies in spiritual darkness because they have rejected the gospel of Jesus Christ. We who have put our trust in Christ have been redeemed from Satan’s Kingdom of Darkness. He saved us out of our distress. He brought us out of darkness and broke the chains of bondage. May this poem travel far and near bringing men and women out of darkness into God's marvelous light. Keep writing for His glory...Hugs
