Poetry
Dark and damp in the night
the servant waits—
his prison tight…
no bed of rest
no comforts found
around him groans
no joyful sound.
But in the realm unseen,
the true light glows
from his battered hand
the ink of life flows…
words for the ages
to strengthen our souls—
“the sword may take my head,
but Christ is risen from the dead!
And one day, like Him, we will be,
when He returns in glory, for you, and for me.”
