The path is long, the trip a tiring trek.
The burden is a heavy one to bear.
So many obstacles before the end.
Sometimes I wonder why I really care.
The shadows of the darkness loom at me-
of avarice, of apathy and hate.
Will I be overcome by likes of these?
What then would be the judgement of my fate?
Through dark despair and thickness of the gloom,
I see a light that's beckoning to me,
a light that seems to guide me on my trip.
Though sometimes dim, the beams are clear to see.
The path on which I tread is known as Life
and Love the light, the beacon guiding me.
It overcomes the shadows and the gloom,
so down this path I can more clearly see.
The threat of unknown fears are wiped away,
In future time, in present and the past,
The darkness will be overcome by light,
the strength of love has never been surpassed
(The light, of course, is Christ)
