in this dark place

And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those
who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.~ Daniel 12:3 KJV

 
let me be a hand
that helps the fallen stand
when on his knees
with broken pleas
he wallows in the sand
 
let me be a voice
that utters more than noise
for some poor soul
i might console
by words of prudent choice
 
let me be a heart
whose contrite sways impart
benevolence
with eloquence
and mercy a la carte
 
let me be a light
where darkness spreads its plight
ere ‘tis too late
to'illuminate
this stark, inglorious night
 
let me be a man—
a ransom if I can
—for every ill
against Your Will
that thwarts Your Master Plan
