A GREAT LIGHT

What does it mean to be oppressed?

To be in fear and to feel distressed?

Isaiah warned of the danger of invasion;

Israel was soon overwhelmed by the Assyrians.

 

Isaiah also wrote as a true prophet of God;

Darkness will prevail if we exclude the LORD!

Despair can set in and there is dark despair;

The Lord came to show God’s love and care.

 

Darkness engulfed the lives of many greatly;

The religious leaders healed wounds lightly.

What was needed was clear and strong light;

The Lord Jesus came with power and might!

 

The Great Light dispelled the power of darkness;

The Gospel proclaimed brought wonderful gladness.

The Message of the Lord Jesus is so needed today;

Let us share with many, The Truth, the Light, the Way.

 

Inspiration: Isaiah 9:1-2
