Who Walks When You Walk in Darkness

This is the poem that was shared in Sunday’s service. Take a moment with it and see what strikes you. How do you need God to walk with you these days?

Who walks when you walk in darkness?
Christine Woolgar

Who walks when you walk in darkness?
Who stands straight?
Who treads firm?
Who lives in the
true meaning of the word?

All fade away.
There is no trust
No solid ground.
No resting place,
No journey’s end.

There is no quiet,
No sense of peace,
No sight to guide,
No knowledge to lead.

I ask, who walks when you walk in darkness?

But now, a light has come,
The day has dawned,
The brilliance of the Holy One
Has shone upon the earth.

An heir is born,
A kinsman lives,
A child of ancient promise
Has arrived.

He holds the crown of David
And wears the robe of Solomon,
But as lord of both
He sits.

No dominion endures before him,
No war prevails against him.
No darkness can diminish him
And no depth can consume him.

For the LORD has given him all things,
That he may free the nations.
He loves the ways of justice
And his kingdom of light is eternal.
