Light of the world
When I’m standing in a dark place and the way ahead’s unclear
Each step feels so precarious, confidence disappears.
All I want is to be safe again, the way I was before
And I wonder who can help me, a ray of light restore.
In the darkness things are different, normal life takes on new forms
All my senses somehow muted, a thousand fears are born
Oh God, I cannot see you, for the gloom’s intense, complete
I’m aware though of Your presence and I hear you when You speak.
Your voice is like no other and your words are full of might
I am trusting you completely, holding on to you so tight
Don’t let go of me or let me fall, don’t let me pull away
When I seek my own direction, hold on to me I pray.
Oh light of the world shine on us, shine bright and pure and true
Shine in us, through us, round us and help us shine for you
Shine Jesus shine on broken lives, restore, revive, empower
With Holy, glorious burning fire through each and every hour.
……….
Are you struggling in your darkness? Are you floundering on your own?
Jesus stands today amongst us and by Him you’re loved and known
Will you look into His face and see the light that He can give
Will you place your trust in Him alone and really start to live?
