I walked in darkness by Kathryn Rose — Lyrics
I walked in darkness. Many a lonely mile,
my eyes and footsteps hesitant and blind.
I sought a kindly light I did not find
in land or ocean, asking all the while
if lightless lives are taken in exchange
for light eternal; still the shades of sight
would whisper, "Even I shall see the light!"

About I walked in darkness
For a choir looking for a powerful anthem, Kathryn Rose’s I walked in darkness offers a profound spiritual journey. This SATB setting in English explores themes of seeking divine light through personal struggle and doubt. The text describes a solitary search for meaning, questioning the nature of eternal reward, before a startling revelation. The light is not found in traditional sacred spaces or grand settings, but unexpectedly in humble, even grim circumstances. The music reflects this narrative arc, moving from introspection to ultimate hope, with the choir’s voices building to embrace the profound discovery of light and salvation.
