Through the Shadows
A kiss is not a kiss, until you give it
A hug is not a hug, until you lend it
A smile is not a smile, until you deliver it
A gift is not a gift until you present it
A hope is not a hope until you believe it
A faith is not a faith until you consider it
A dream is not a dream until you desire it
A feeling is not a feeling until you feel it
A light is not a light until you shine it
A love is not a love until you grant it
Forever and always know – it is in the heart
Where there is love to give, to impart
That light will glow and we can always know
Love that grows beyond our soul, where love
Reaches out, pierces a heart, a hope, a life
So that they can see and believe – in the sacrifice
That made a way for you and me to be free
From the doubts, the dark, the past that haunts,
Because of His love – we can feel the hope, the knowing
That love like this will just keep going, keep giving…
It is love this strong that makes a way out of wrong
It is love this alive that proves there is power in the One
Who abides inside, forever alive – forever alive…
Making a way for lost souls, making a way so they can know
The One who silences the fear, wipes away every tear
Fills the spirit with a love that shows wherever it goes,
Wherever it goes… there is unending hope, eternal faith
The most amazing grace the heart has every known
Thanks to this – there is love that continues to grow and grow,
Forever alive, forever reminding me to abide in the One
Who makes a way through the darkness, a way through the hurt
A way through the shadows that want to silence my love
