We declare to you what was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life-- this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us-- we declare to you what we have seen and heard so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. We are writing these things so that our joy may be complete.
This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him while we are walking in darkness, we lie and do not do what is true; but if we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:1-9
Waking up in a dark room strange city
a sorrow deeper than words or song
deep winter and shadows linger
cold seeps into bone at night sadness
lingers deep into day.
"In him there is no darkness at all
the night and the day are both alike
the lamb is the light of the city of God
shine in my heart Lord Jesus"
When sorrow too deep for words
cover me blankets my soul with sadness
music ancient and wild breaks through
singing me into the light of love.
When homeless and broke I turn away
limping down a bleak highway
seeking shelter with cruelty and anger
and sharing a meal with bitterness and greed
he follows me to my worst destruction
reaching a hand to lift me home.
"In him there is no darkness at all
the night and the day are both alike
the lamb is the light of the city of God
shine in my heart Lord Jesus"
When stomping away in hurt and fury
light to my back dank darkness ahead
walking through a tunnel moist with rot
trying to become disease and destruction
you reach beyond my deaden heart
and set your lamp of love within me.
Help me this day to stay in your shadows
help me to know your light surrounds me
help me to see beyond the horizon
your promises still to know to see.
"In him there is no darkness at all
the night and the day are both alike
the lamb is the light of the city of God
shine in my heart Lord Jesus"
