John 3:19-21
New International Version (NIV)
19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Time and time again I diffuse the turmoil in my heart by inflicting turmoil on my body,
trying to fight fire with fire
and heal pain with pain.
I know your embrace is what will save me,
but the revolting habits that spring from my dying flesh are forever hindering me from accepting your love.
Rescue my bleeding soul from this body that lives in evil’s shadow.
Burn away my dark, destructive urges
with the light of your love.
I want to seek you in the darkness,
and stop shielding my heart from your light.
I want to be more than a cockroach that runs form the morning.
I want the power to, in the midst of my darkest hour,
choose the sunrise.
