2 Kings 11:20
So all the people of the land rejoiced and the city was quiet after Athaliah had been put to death with the sword at the kings house
And the city was quiet
Many a time I have felt this
The place got quiet
The turmoil dissipated
The air cleared
Darkness lifted
We could breathe again
A burst of divine relief
In a world so troubled
Light permeating
The darkest of nights
A breath of fresh air
When light justice and righteousness flow in
Darkness has to flee
Selah
