Et Lux In Tenebris Lucet

Et lux in tenebris lucet

Oh the roads I’ve travelled, things I’ve seen,
People I’ve known, devastation I’ve sown,
Cannot replace the love and grace or
A seat at the table in the glory of His face,

I’ve had a pedigree of pain
A long list of shame
A one to shift the blame
Like a lawyer defending his case in court
I didn’t have to plead the sort,
I see you through the lens of mercy,
My prosecutor becomes my refuter,
To the judge of sorrows and acrimony,
A pardon your free, here’s a new testimony
