by Isabel Beckham

In the midst of the sorrow, 
I have to squint to see the Light.

What if in the midst of the darkness, 
I get lost and lose the Light?

One wrong turn and the Light is hidden,
Precious Light, stay with me, please. 

I long to hear the words,
“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”

The King of kings and Servant of servants, 
took my place so that I may live. 

Light chases out the dark, 
guiding my way home.

Jesus Christ is my Light, 
Heaven is my home.
