How often we say that time is flying by or time is dragging. Time can do neither, but our perceptions of how long something is changes. Right now it is nearing the end of October and Halloween. I am busy working on my Christmas Show, not a cantata, this year, but sort of a musical play with narration. I have 5 of the songs completed and transcribed, with the rest still in rough draft from, but it is all coming together nicely. I thought I would share the lyrics to one of the songs, and here it is.
The Darkness Has Been Conquered
When the sun's light begins to grow again
And the darkness is transformed,
The end of winter's hunger begins
And our hearts with love are warmed.
Like the sun God's love is constant
And all around us brightly shines,
Our hope lives in its presence,
We go forward in its light.
The darkness has been conquered
By a love so rich and free,
When we share that love with others
We receive abundantly.
When the daytime hours grow longer
And the night grows shorter too,
The hope of new life grows stronger
As our hearts become transformed.
Like the sun God's love is constant
And all around us brightly shines,
Our hope lives in its presence,
We go forward in its light.
The darkness has been conquered
By a love so rich and free,
When we share that love with others
We receive abundantly.
