NIGHT BLOOMING JASMINE
In the darkness, we walk with light
In the darkness, we walk with light
Like the night blooming jasmine, we light up the night
In the darkness, we walk with light
A shining darkness glows in me
Its warmth and beauty set me free
There is a darkness in my soul
It’s warm black power makes me whole
Available as a choral arrangement for SATB, SSAA, TTBB in the Elise Witt Choral Series
