Overwhelming with darkness

Tomorrow’s vision unseen

Out of life’s impossible

Wondering what faith will mean

 

Calvary’s light beams ahead

Today offers blessed place

Possible waiting in view

Powering toward Christ’s grace

 

Prince of Peace offers his hand

Hour of hope at last arrives

Redemption shall be fulfilled

Seeing faith coming alive

 

Bitter sorrow fades away

In Christ, mercy filled with love

Answers to prayer’s journey

Touching Spirit high above

From John 10:9-10:  “I am the gate.  Whoever enters by Me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture.  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.  I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”

No journey is complete that does not lead through some dark valleys.  We can properly comfort others only with the comfort wherewith we ourselves have been comforted of God.

From Matthew 5:4:  “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”

Vance Havner (1901-1986) was an American pastor and Christian author.  During his many years of service to the Lord, he preached throughout America.

Born before light breathes

God’s master blueprint

Only darkness exists

Waiting, His Son’s footprint

 

Sin breathes at Eden

Perfect light shattered

Tomorrow’s harsh darkness

Righteousness now scattered

 

From garden’s shadows

Bloody cross awaits

Savior’s light journeys on

From heaven’s open gate

 

God’s people wander

Darkness covers world

Divine plan’s fulfillment

Messiah’s light unfurled

 

Light moves against sin

Nailed to rugged tree

Every transgression paid

Saving grace sets man free

From Isaiah 53:10:  “Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction.  When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.”

We must look at the greatness, promises, and purposes of our God as revealed in His Word, because divine truth is our anchor in the storms of life.

From John 14:26-27:  “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything and remind you of all that I have said to you.  Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
