Marvelous Light

I sat down at the computer this morning to write. I can’t get these lyrics out of my head. Every once in a while a song comes along with lyrics that penetrate your soul. This is one of those. Go now to iTunes.com and down load “Marvelous light” by Charlie Hall.

Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross,
You are the Truth
Your are the Life
You are the Way

I once was fatherless
A stranger with no hope
You’re kindness wakened me
Wakened me, from my sleep
You’re love it beckons deeply
A call to come and die

By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life
Sin has lost its power,
Death has lost its sting,
From the grave you’ve risen, and victoriously…

Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross,
You are the truth
You are the life
You are the way

My dead heart now is beating
My deepest stains now clean
You’re breath fills up my lungs
Now I’m free, now I’m free

Sin has lost its power,
Death has lost its sting,
From the grave you’ve risen, and victoriously…

Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross,
You are the truth
You are the life
You are the way

Lift my hands and spin around
See the light that I have found
Oh the marvelous light, the marvelous light

This is who I long to be. I pray I realize that this God who pursues me is real. He longs to see me with my hands raised, spinning around, fully realizing the light in which I dance. The marvelous light, the marvelous light!
