Black is dark and black is quite sinister--
Not often thought ofwell by those who minister
To victims of evil, with broken hearts.
Black describes the days that we are apart.
When I draw away from Your presence the tears start
To fall, for that's what paints me black as night.
Black coatsmy heart andmy soul when I fight.
Withmy will against Yoursmy selfblocks out the Light
Of the world, who's coming in glory.
Black is the page of evil's history.
But God has promised to change black with the story
Of redemption. He will transform black soon.
Black's existence is not merely for ruin;
It is black night's sky that accentuates the moon
That reflects the light of life-giving sun.
Black Earth's a chance to magnify the One
Whose light and love were made manifest by the Son
Of God—our Redeemer who makes us white.
