Eternity in the Light

Darkness surrounds him as he walks through the perils, life throws at him
Within the gloomy shadows stalking in the darkness, he holds no fear
Coldness brushes his cheeks, his body trembles, his spirit rises
Temptation looms at every corner but straight ahead, his eyes are fixed
Impenetrable is his armour, no man can destroy his courage and strength
With His sword, he slays the cowardly enemy who attacks from behind
Neither beast nor demonic creature can pierce through his sacred heart
Never a glance behind, his eyes gaze only straight forth into the light
For he knows, that just one glance will bring with it despair and destruction
Reaching forth, he grasps the hand that protrudes from the light
Warmth, love and peace encapsulates his soul, illuminating all darkness
He has won the battle and is welcomed through the gates of eternity
For he who seeks life and love shal! l be granted a life of eternal peace
He who withstands the temptations of darkness and holds his head high
Will forever become one with life and be seated beside his masters throne.
