Consider the Contrast

"The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know at what they stumble" (Proverbs 4:18,19).

Consider the contrast between the two ways:
First let's consider the path of the just:
They follow the light, like the sun's solar rays
That shine more and more as they learn to trust.

Now let us consider the way of the lost:
How dark is the path upon which they stumble!
They walk on in darkness not counting the cost
For spurning salvation reserved for the humble.

Lord, lead us onward to walk in the light;
Brighten our path with the light of Your face,
And mindful of those in the darkness of night,
Cause us to shine forth to show them Your grace.
