The Lord Doth Lighten My Darkness









What a strengthening poem for those times in life that seem so dark. The Lord is our light in our darkest moments, and then it isn't so dark after all. 

By Jennifer Daniel

The Lord doth lighten my darkness
My loneliness, despair
When everything's against me
And no-one seems to care

The Lord doth lighten my darkness
In deep financial strain
I'll turn to Him for comfort
To meet each pressing claim

The Lord doth lighten my darkness
When sickness takes her hold
I'll lean upon His bosom
And there my hurts unfold

The Lord doth lighten my darkness
When I'm misunderstood
His precious understanding
Has been so 'wondrous good'

The Lord will lighten my darkness
Whatever life will bring
To Him 'Eternal Refuge'
 My fragile heart will cling

If you have gone a little way ahead, O friend, call back --
Twill cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.
