The Light

 

I walked alone in darkness,

no hope at all I could see -

Til Jesus stood before me;

The brightest light was He.

 

He said, "Just take my hand,

I'll lead you from the  dark.

Then we'll start out together -

a journey to embark."

 

I've now been on this journey

for many years with Him.

At times, I tried to lead the way,

but the light began to dim.

 

For when Jesus wasn't leading,

there wasn't enough light -

To keep me on the pathway

that leads from wrong to right.

 

One day we'll end the journey,

just when I do not know.

But until then, I'll try to let

my Lord before me go.
