From Darkness Into Light

Take my hand and I'll lead you home
I'm right here beside you, you're not alone
Now darkness surrounds you, as the smoke billows up
But soon you'll see clearly, and drink from my cup
So be not afraid, this promise I've made before
That I'm the way, the truth, and the life
You'll need nothing more
Right now the world is watching you, in shock and disbelief
Their hearts are filled with fear, with pain, anger and grief
But I will bear their burden and lighten their load
Though the journey for peace, will be a long winding road
And for your family whom you love, your concern is so high
How will they handle this, how will they get by?
The answer to this question, lies within me
It will take time, but I'll set their hearts free
I'll send all the angels to be by their side
To watch over them, protect them, and act as their guide
So struggle no more, with concerns of this life
For where you are going, there's no worry or strife
It's time to come home now, your last breath you have taken
As you lay down in peace, your soul I will awaken
It's then you'll bear witness, to a truly amazing sight
It's then you'll know I've taken you,
From darkness into light.
