Again
Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life."
Then the Pharisees said to him, "You are testifying on your own behalf;
your testimony is not valid." Jesus answered, "Even if I testify on my
own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from
and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I
am going. You judge by human standards; I judge no one. Yet even if I do
judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and
the Father who sent me. In your law it is written that the testimony of
two witnesses is valid. I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who
sent me testifies on my behalf." Then they said to him, "Where is your
Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew
me, you would know my Father also." He spoke these words while he was
teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because
his hour had not yet come. John 8:12-20
Light of the World - A Song for Today
It has happened again during all
our rumbling and complaining
the light of the world arrived again
and turn our tears in laughter.
Come let us turn again to the light
let our frozen angry hearts give way
may we melt with the love we have craved
letting go of all that confined us.
Despite our grandstanding and tirades
despite our greed and our selfishness
despite all the wicked things we do
the Light of the world has returned.
Come let us turn again to the light
let our frozen angry hearts give way
may we melt with the love we have craved
letting go of all that confined us.
Instead of punishment and shame
we receive light and love unending
despite the chains we surely deserve
he comes again and frees us all.
Come let us turn again to the light
let our frozen angry hearts give way
may we melt with the love we have craved
letting go of all that confined us.
