the war wages

The war wages for the minds and hearts of man 
The walls have been breached 
The enemy lays siege to all in his path 
Destroying the fortresses of man 
The darkness settles in and man is unable to sense it 
Unable to resist its seductive powers 
And evil is called good and good is called evil 
Lies, destruction, death leave their wake 
And man no longer comprehends his bondage 
For the darkness has overcome his hardened heart 
Yet, there is the Light that shines 
The Light that is able to pierce the veil of darkness 
And the more the Light shines the less darkness retains its hold 
As it is with the light that slowly comes with each morning's sun rise 
May we allow the Light of the Son to shine as we arise each day 
Sharing His Light in this world of darkness 
For it is only His Light that can pierce the hardened heart of man 
And overcome the darkness…
