Shadows upon your face

One side darkness

One side light
Does it show a likeness
Does it show sin: a blight?
Have you seen the shadows?
Falling there upon your face...
Are you lost my sweet darling?
Have you fallen far from grace?
Only Christ is our redeemer
Only Jesus truly knows
He is our blessed Saviour
Into our precious heart He goes
As shadows come and surely go
Our lives like the four seasons
Our lives must be lived to show
Each season: unlike the other
Many changes ever flow
Without the fullness of each season
How could we ever show
Just how blessed our lives can be
We must weather the storms of winter
We must allow faith in spring to grow
Many blossoms bloom in late summer
Gusty Autumn winds must blow...
One side of life is hidden in darkness
The other side will shine brightly
Unless you pass through each season
How will God ever truly know
Just how much his precious seed has grown...
