DARKNESS NO MORE

 

The rising of the evening tide,

The waves cap then collide –

And it seems the wind can’t decide,

But upon the waves it will ride:

   As darkness waits for the light.

 

Bodies embraced upon the sheet,

Covers pulled around our feet –

Here it appears that life is complete,

While leaves blow across the street:

   As darkness waits on the light.

 

And when the darkness is gone,

And we know life will carry on –

But it’s our spirit that sets the tone,

Praying that we are never alone:

   As darkness waits on the light.

 

It’s in our hearts that we know,

The tide will never stay low –

And the winds will always blow,

And to heaven we pray we go:

   As darkness waits on the light.

 

It’s only the truth that I have to tell,

It comes down to heaven or hell –

We all will sin – we all will fell,

And with the Lord we want to dwell:

   And here darkness fines the light.
