Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. - Martin Luther It is my prayer that you will know Him, the One who lights Souls, with fires so alive, stirring hearts Comforting the broken, silencing the tears That come to those hearts who know… Without Him, His love, His goodness There is no light that can erase the darkness There is no peace that can promise silence There is no smile that can wipe away the pain There is no reason that hope will have its way There is no measure of grace amid the grief There is no life… without Him, there is no way Through the unending sin, the offences and shame, The never ending disgrace that awaits… The heart who refuses to accept the Rescuer! Without Him, Life is only a shadow of doubt, A spirit crushed by the weight of iniquity A song without melody A breathe of degradation Without Him, There is no escaping the hell That comes to souls who don’t care, souls Who dwell in the humiliation, the pridefulness, The darkness where there is no way for grace The grace that gives souls the chance to live…. To live a life filled with hope and faith, beauty that amazes Wonder that embraces every heart with inspiration Stirring awake the sleeping thoughts, the remembrance Love that only God could have brought to life inside The spirit who believes and agrees… His light – His love That is enough to bring comfort to the broken hearted, Joy to the soul who is surviving more loss, more despair Than most can imagine suffering … Because of Him, the One who made a way through the doubt The One who covers each soul with His blood… Blood that washes away every sin, every cloud, every reason For sorrow and confusion… Because of Him, there is love without end… there is love That abides inside because the heart believes in Him, the friend Who is everlasting, eternal, forever with the one who simply believes… HE IS the LIGHT of the world, the light of the soul, the One we know as JESUS, the Son of God… the answer to every heart’s yearning, The blessing that will see the heart through any dishonor, any despair, Any darkness… Because He IS the LIGHT that rains hopes over the heart and soul, The LIGHT that rains love over every life The LIGHT who responds to the night’s misery, The LIGHT who brings the promise of forever peace With the ONE who shines into the life… love that lasts through any grief! It is my prayer that you will know Him, the One who lights Souls, with fires so alive, stirring hearts Comforting the broken, silencing the tears That come to those hearts who know… Without Him, there is simply no hope!
