From 2 Samuel 1:2:  “On the third day, a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and dirt on his head.  When he came to David, he fell to the ground and did obeisance [extending respect].”

Facing distress

Surging downpour

Waves of darkness

Always, facing more

 

Confronting fate

Reeling with pain

Enemy waits

Always, comes again

 

Praying to God

Hearing His voice

Times of challenge

Always, offers choice

 

Reaching to thee

Grasping His hand

Deliverance

Always, God commands

 

Reading His Word

Lighting each lamp

Promise rings true

Always, in God’s camp

 

Finding refuge

Forgiving sins

Redemption breathes

Always, grace comes in

 

From 2 Samuel 22:29:  “Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord; the Lord lightens my darkness.”
