Extraordinary Light

The darkness was overwhelming.
I knew I was out of place.
I sought freedom in the world
But always came up empty.
Where is that switch
So that I can see?
Where is my Savior
So that I can believe?
I felt the ground
And I felt the walls.
I can’t see a thing.
I know I will fall.
Consumed by my faults.
Not willing to admit.
Where is He? Who is He?
I really must quit.
Then, there it was.
What an extraordinary light!
One I’ve never seen before.
This must be my knight.
As I got closer
My weights began to fall.
In Him I believed, for he answered my call.

Shedding tears, all is lost.
So many fears, all hope is lost.
But then one day I saw His hand.
He lifted me; could this be the man?
I’ve heard about him; what a shining light.
My heart feels warm; this must be right.
Who is he?
My Majesty, My All in All, My King of Kings.
He’s overtaken me; I feel brand new.
He washed me clean. This is something new.
What can I give? What can I say?
Clearly Jesus has made a way.
I know that I love him. What a beautiful light!
His Word is correct. His path is right.
I hear the trumpets.
I hear the praise.
My God has redeemed me.
What some wonderful days!
My journey has ended and I’ve overcome
This world of corruption by God’s only Son.
The reason I made it was because of His grace.
What wonderful joy that has filled this old place.
He made me who I am not because of my own will
But because of His love, compassion, and Will!
That’s who I am!
