Through the piercing darkness,
I see a light break through.

It starts as a small flicker,
but the more I seek You,
the brighter the flame glows.

Though I can feel the darkness around me,
it cannot come near.

The light of Your presence
is stronger than any darkness.

As I resist and press into You,
its torment lessens,
and the voice that was once so loud
retreats into the recesses
where it can barely be heard at all.

In Your light, there is freedom and purpose.
As I seek You, the light brightens
and my mind becomes clearer.

My thoughts become organised,
and the fog lifts.

The enemy cannot stand
in the light of Your love,
and he must flee.

In Your presence
is where I always long to be.

Draw me closer.
Do not cast me away.

I long for the safety of Your love.
It surrounds me on all sides,
calling me,
drawing me
into the sweet fragrance of Your love.
