A Little While, A Lighted Way


"Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light... But though He had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on Him: that the saying of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report?  And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?" (John 12:35-38). 

"A little while," our Savior said,
The light is with us now to walk,
Yet darkness is preferred instead
By those who, as foretold, will mock. 

How strange it is that many choose
To blindly walk and never know
The blessings that they thus refuse
And horrors waiting where they go! 

We have our Savior's Word today
So we may walk with confidence
As we delight to know His way
And follow in obedience. 

Our time on earth is very short,
Though some may think that it is long  
Yet have no time for God's report
Which they exchange for what is wrong.

The miracles our Savior did
And prophecies that He fulfilled
Shed light on Christ who was not hid
When He, as prophesied, was killed. 

O Lord, we thank You for Your light
Which in the darkness You have shined,
So we might thus believe aright
And in You our salvation find.   

Lord, send us forth to shine as well
As stars against the darkened sky,
To show the Good News that we tell
Where we are sent testify.
