Hello, friends! Today's prompt, courtesy of my brother Zach, is the song "Light in the Hallway" by Pentatonix.
This song is a lullaby, written from the perspective of a parent to a child. However, much of it could easily be seen from the perspective of God to us, his children. I can draw biblical parallels for almost every line:
"Close your eyes, lay your head down / now it's time to sleep"
"In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety." (Psalm 4:8)
"If you're scared of the darkness, I will calm your fear / There's a light in the hallway so you know I'm here"
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:5)
"So count your blessings every day / It makes the monsters go away"
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me - practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:8-9)
"And everything will be okay / You are not alone / You are right at home"
"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38-39)
