From Colossians 1:13-14 “He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
From the Creator, comes the day’s light
Why then, is there perpetual night?
Sin-filled darkness, traverses borders
Nations breathing endless disorders
Not a single country shall be spared
Few if any, seem ready . . . prepared
Partisan turmoil ignites unrest
Another sleepless night, minus rest
Social illness parks at each corner
Past ills, leaving many a mourner
Violence, injustice never pause
Out of this gloom, marches a new cause
Shroud of night’s blackness, tearing apart
Light conquers night, crashing our Lord’s heart
Blood-stained Cross, now-empty tomb proclaim
Son of Man, Son of God lights new flame
From Revelation 22:5: “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”
