Comes the Son

The following set of lyrics was inspired by the Halloween season. Last Halloween, I had an email interchange with someone in Japan who was overwhelmed by all the Halloween decorations. In the interchange they referenced Psalm 30:5, "Weeping may remain for a night but joy comes in the morning". By the time the interchange ended Halloween had passed, so I filed the thoughts away. The thoughts were accessed again a few weeks ago, when I saw a car that already had a KEEP CHRIST IN CHRISTMAS bumper magnet on their car. Anyway, the product of all this was the following:

COMES THE SON

I've seen the tombstones on my street
I have heard the goblins scream
I hear a sound cut through the night
"Keep Christ in Halloween"

There is darkness, Mr. Bones
There is death all around our homes
There's darkness in a grotesque face
It seems that death is every place

Yet, in the morning there is light
In His morning, there's new life
Yes, in the morning comes the son
When darkness days are surely done.

There is darkness, evil dwells
There is death, things don't look well
There is darkness here on earth
There is death for every birth

Yet, in the morning there is light
In His morning, there's new life
Yes, in the morning comes the son
When darkness days are surely done.

Get away darkness, He's the truth
Shining on the lie that's you
Get away death, He is the way
Crossing off your final day(2X)

Yes, in the morning there is light
In His morning, there's new life
Yes, in the morning comes the Son.
