Poetry: Hope in a Culture of Darkness

So much darkness in the culture and in lives,So many shadows of of the night,Emptiness, arrogance, rationalization and prideObscure God's path of light.Instead of desiring the path of hope and right,The culture clings to self-indulgence,Telling itself pretty liesTo cover up the truth that deep inside andAway from Jesus Christ,We are poor in spirit,Angry, miserable and blind.Oh Lord, I pray Your transforming mightEnters in so all may findIn You, the way, the truth and lifeThat changes hearts and minds,From deepest despair and darkest nightTo hope and healing, love and light.By Carolyn R ScheidiesFind more like this in Journey of Faith
