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
