"In Search of the Light"

Stepping out into darkness,
in the middle of the night,
looking every where,
in search of the Light.

Grouping around in a sea of darkness,
something was amiss,
the absence of the light,
had created such an abyss.

Every lamp we beheld,
had a wick, but no oil,
some how the prince of darkness,
had managed to spoil.

As darkness did spread,
extinguishing the light,
it seems all hope was lost,
leaving no strength to fight.

Was our search in vain,
had the prince of darkness put out the light,
stealing the oil,
had he won the fight?

But then that moment came,
we were surrounded by the light,
the prince had not won,
the Son was still in the fight.

Our hearts filled with joy,
basking in that great light,
dispelling the darkness,
as Hope pushed through the fight.

It had not been in vain,
our search for the light,
in the sea of darkness,
the Light still shinning bright.
