When Darkness Starts To Dim

Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things
    Sing praise, when He awakens our heartstrings.

When the darkness starts to dim within the dark
we wait for the light, the tiniest spark.

We teach traditions – obvious commonsense,
but true belief comes from experience.

Researching God’s Word reaps redemption’s result,
makes talking with Him not so difficult.

God never slumbers, He is ever awake
He’s list’ning always, at night, at daybreak…

    Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things
    Sing praise, when He awakens our heartstrings.

Jesus’ birth, life and death is not just stardust;
He arose to life, bringing hope and trust.

I notice Light in my world shining through Him
Satan’s spell of darkness starting to dim.

Yes, what will be, will be, praise God, Almighty,
He redeemed me, with His will I agree.

He’s with me, I do not fear what man can do.
No longer afraid, my God will see me through.

    Sing to the Lord, for He has done glorious things
    Sing praise, when He awakens our heartstrings.
