Light Defeats Darkness

Light defeats darkness –
But a flare in the night sky
Will still leave shadows

All of my Days

The Lord who provided for Elijah
Has promised me breakthrough,
And I shall praise Him
All of my days.
Bread for life,
Oil for anointing;
I shall praise Him
All of my days.
Trials will come,
Sin rears its ugly head,
But I shall ever strive
To walk humbly,
To love mercy,
To act justly,
To follow my God;
He goes before me,
And I shall praise Him
All of my days.
