Light the World #2

 They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.    Exodus 10:23 

Darkness comes to each and all, despite our best intent.
It thickens round our intellects and makes our eyesight bent.
It can be called from heaven by a Moses, or appear
as part of Nature's dark side which we always have to fear.

But if our lamps are filled with oil, as told in scripture story,
we need not let the darkness overcome the Lord's bright glory.
As children in His loving care, Jehovah will provide
each and all with what they need to check the darkened tide.
