LIGHT BLAZED FORTH

Light blazed forth as life
Right out of Bethlehem
Many wondered in awe
Many gazed in fear
But the light blinked not

The light blazed with brightness
The darkness around shrunk in fear
From its reign of generations past
And the dark corners of men’s hearts
Were stripped bare like uncovered skeletons


That light kept its course
Not floundered by the very heap of darkness
That had grown like a hill over men
Who had watched in helpless fear
As this evil of darkness disembodied their strength

This light blazed forth from heaven
Many feared its life’s course
But it glared ,dazzling at darkness
Not for one moment did it blink nor slumber

Darkness thus gave way for this light
By bits, cracks, chips and chunk
It formed a big heap of rubble
Now men can see God’s light again
And this, darkness cannot just comprehend
