Christ, the Everlasting Light

Lost, my heart knew only darkness;Hostile to the Lord of love.Craving every sinful pleasurewithout thought for God above.Restless wandering filled each new day;Sleepless agony each night.My heart stumbled at the thought ofChrist, the Everlasting Light.His arm pulled me from the darkness;Broke sin’s bond that held me fast.Now my heart in His is anchored,and in Him I’m safe at last.His great mercy, ever reaching,called my heart to claim His grace.His amazing goodness found me,pulled me into His embrace.All accounts by Him now settled;No outstanding debt I owe.Reconciled to stand before Him;His cross has declared it so.Rescued from the power of darkness;Bound no more by Satan’s chain.Fully pardoned by the Father,Cleansed, redeemed in Jesus’ name.

Father, as I awake to a new morning, I thank You for the Light of Your love and Your presence in this dark world. Thank You for delivering me from the power of darkness. Thank You for the glory of You. Let me walk in Your Light today regardless of the circumstances that surround me or the hurdles I face. Thank You for Your full pardon so undeserved, Your mercy so full and free. May Your mercy flow freely through me today. I await the day when we will walk fully in Your presence forever. In the precious name of Your Son I pray.

“The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory” (Isaiah 60:19).
