A familiar pew
Lime carpet, stained and ragged
Wilting wallpaper and wood-paneling
A legacy of faith surrounds me
Jacob gently grasp my hand
Our children recline quietly between us
Salty tears stain my cheeks
Truth resounds in my ears
The image replays in my mind
The absence of light
Darkness
The light of the world
Jesus
They tried to beat the light out of Him
In Crucifixion, they tried to extinguish the light
But it was not theirs to squelch
The light of the world shines
As He did in the beginning, as He always will
Lost in the dark?
Look around
Can you see it?
He shines for you
Will you open your eyes?
