God of Light
God of Light
I awaken
In the dark of night,
And face my lord
The God of Light
Who guides me
Thru the haze of pain,
And takes on him
My guilt and shame
My comfort
As he takes my hand,
And shows me
How to rise and stand
Sinless, blameless
Once again,
Because He chose
To call me friend
A wretched man
Though I may be,
He offers fellowship
To me
I lay no claim
To being just,
He gives me grace
In trade for trust
Impossible
For any man,
Without the mercy
Of “I Am”
The song of God
Is in my ear,
Calming each
And every fear
He sings
His weary child to sleep
This loving shepherd
To his sheep
Protected from
All earthly harm
As I slumber
In his arms
No longer frightened
By the night
My father
Is the God of Light
