Out of Darkness

Darkness engulfs and surrounds,
Where absence of light is found,
Wicked abides in the shadows,
Where Satan barks and bellows,
The darkness brings confusion,
Reality drifts into delusion,
The enemy has set his snare,
The sojourner best beware,
The darkness is ever lurking,
Where Christ is not working,
We must flee the darkness,
Also the painful harshness,
We must turn to the Light,
Only in Christ can we fight,
The temptation to give in,
To sinister evil and sin,
Instead of promised pleasure,
We're trapped beyond measure,
To Christ we must avail,
To rescue from sin and hell,
To Christ the glorious Light,
We must trust to give sight,
Out of the night into day,
Christ our help and way,
On Christ alone we stand,
Taking Him by the hand,
To lead us into the light,
Into joy out of the night.
