He came upon a troubled night. Where the brightness had been dimmed, And darkness had won the fight.
As an unfortunate man named Legion, Whose soul had suffered a sorry blight, Was driven out of his mind, By those pitiful things called demons. For they fought, they toiled within, Only to be stopped by heavenly might, When confronted with an utmost holy light.
The demons begged and they cowered, as the Abyss seemed a dreadful place, Because to dwell upon the darkness, Where the murky thoughts of men interlace, Would be a sorry sight indeed. They would have no choice but to face, The burning innocence of the lives they heed, But give disregard to the power they displace .
So where the heavenly light shone, Piercing the fabric of the known, The seeds of mercy were willingly sown, Through thoughts of light and skin and bone.
So the demons of the darkness, Went willingly back into the cold, To spy on the living with heartless hearts. But never again to be so bold, As to possess the innocent with piercing darts, Of a darkness so profound, As to be only banished, By the most heavenly of light.
So the man now free, Of the darkest demons' sight, Sat at the base of the big birch tree, Where the being composed of heavenly light, Taught by the word of mouth and decreed, That the man was finally free.
Soon the whole town knew, What Jesus had done for him. A story of toil and trouble , Of a battle between darkness and light. Miracle it so must be, So the town decided at the big birch tree, Miracle, miracle it so must be.
And so, once again at the big birch tree, A timid decision arose from thee, To send the heavenly being away, As they thought that He had led their lives astray.
Follow God with all your heart, Follow him with all your might. His love is unconditional, So as you sit in the darkness at night, Remember the story of toil, trouble and light. A story of mercy and a story of hope.
You have been pierced with his heavenly grace, You have been forgiven, you have been saved. So unless you ignite your inner light, And spread the word of God, The darkness may infest your soul, And leave nothing, Nothing but a heartless heart.
