Piercing the Darkness

Piercing the Darkness

God's light pierces the darkness;

His light scatters the night!

God's light pierces the darkness;

Jesus is that Light!

~

In all the world, no other name;

No other hope; no other way;

No other truth; no other life;

He is the Son, the only true Light,

To pierce the darkness!

~

God's light pierces the darkness;

Bringing hope for all men!

Light that shatters the darkness;

Breaking chains of sin.

~

Gospel of hope, Power of grace;

Jesus forgives; sin is erased!

Darkness is gone; new life is found!

Tell the good news, Jesus came down

To pierce the darkness!

~

Lord, You banished my darkness!

Brought me into Your light!

Saved me for Your glory!

Changed my blindness to sight!

~

Light of the World! Bright Morning Star!

O what a great Savior You are!

Lord of my life I now confess

You are my King, the only True Light

To pierce the darkness!

This is a song that was written and published by one of the pastor's of our church. I am never able to get through it without tears in my eyes. It is a poignant song of truth and I was compelled to share it here.
