1st Morning Thoughts

By Michelle D. Jackson

This poem is dedicated to everyone who depends on God’s light to help them through the dark times.

I am Light.

Yea, do I walk through the valley of the shadow of darkness

Fear pierced by the Light of God

Shadows summoned my soul with temptation

My Savior calls with me at heart

An empty vessel with one torch to see clear

Death beset me but cannot move

My enemies seek my demise

But God covers my every wound

I am Light.

Made by the hands of the Divine

Draped in armor, no man can pierce

Stained with the blood that set me free

Entrusted in love that holds me near

I am Light.

Hidden atop the highest mountain

Covered by God’s unchanging love

Filled with the Holy Ghost, mercy, and grace

Hidden from darkness in a refuge above

I am Light.

Sealed by Jehovah’s unconditional love

Made whole on bended knee

Anchored my life to an endless sky

Through His grace, I am made free
