The Light of Life

by Lamar Taylor

Darkness was there at first,
Covering the face of the deep;
Then He spoke,
And there was light
The light of His glory?
Darkness was dispelled.

Again He spoke;
The light and the dark,
They separated, and
There was day and night

Again He spoke, and again,
Until day by day
All of creation
Began to be,
And it was good

Then from the clay
Formed He the man,
And from a rib,
His help-mate,
Their task to care
For His creation.

But they rebelled,
Those created in His image,
As darkness slithered in
To His creation.

Yet in the curse,
A promise made
Of powerful Light
Forever to destroy
The darkness.

Then came that Light,
The Light of life,
To shine and banish
The darkness
From hearts of men

Some rejected
That Light of life,
Even hated it.
Why?
Their destiny
To dwell forever
In the darkness they loved.

But that Light
Will shine forever
(No darkness there)
In the hearts
Of those His own.

And when this life is done,
Forever they will live
In the light of
The Light of life.
