Warrior of Light

Lord, it's dark and demons press round.
The advice that they whisper is scarcely sound.
My heart is weak and far, far from brave,
But you have come "to Seek and to Save."

I ask your protection on this long, lonesome night
Before those around me decide on my plight,
And press ever closer and prevent any fight,
I ask that you send a Warrior of Light.

His face will cause ten thousand to flee,
As he aids and protects,--his mission for thee.
And though he be valiant and mighty and true
I ask that he be patient-compassionate, too.

For I am afraid of anything new,
No matter how good, how right or how true.
For though I ask help, yeah, even expect,
However it appears is often suspect

For fear presses in, and doubt colors all,
And while I would see my enemies fall,
I cling to old habits, for they're what I know
Even while they have nothing to show.

"Deliver me, Lord, and come to my aid,
Through this deep river, help me to wade,
And bring me safe over to Heaven's bright shore,
When my journey is finally o're.

For you are "the Way, the Truth and the Life"
Offering to us the Gift of your Life.
All who accept the price that was paid,
Shall in Glory, be like Him made."

And while the night is dark, I'm alone,
I can see your Son on the Throne.
And I thank and I praise and I humbly bow.
"My God you have saved me!--WOW!!!"
