On Saturday morning, I headed out for my long run for the weekend because of our trip to Nashville, and I put Pandora on to listen to some music for the journey. This song came on by Jennifer Knapp that I'd never heard before and I know I ran faster hearing it because I loved the sound of it and because the truth resonated with me. May you have many songs through your life that put a spring in your step and may you let God's light shine bright in your life as this song proclaims.
There's
a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
It
presses harsh hope against time
In
the absence of martyrs there's a presence of thieves
Who
only want to rob you blind
They
steal away any sense of peace
Though
I'm a king I'm a king on my knees
And
I know they are wrong when they say I am strong
As
the darkness covers me
So
turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am
not afraid
To
bare all my weakness knowing in meekness
I
have a kingdom to gain
Where
there is peace and love in the light, in the light
Oh I
am not afraid
To
let Your light shine bright in my life, in my life
Oh
I... am, I...
There
are ghosts from my past who've owned more of my soul
Than
I thought I had given away
They
linger in closets and under my bed
And
in pictures less proudly displayed
A
great fool in my life I have been
Have
squandered till pallid and thin
Hung
my head in shame and refused to take blame
For
the darkness I know I've let win
Well
I've never been much for the baring of soul
In
the presence of any man
I'd
rather keep to myself all safe and secure
In
the arms of a sinner I am
Could
it be that my worth should depend
By
the crimson stained grace on a hand
And
like a lamp on a hill Lord I pray in Your will
To
reveal all of You that I can
There's
a place in the darkness that I used to cling to
It presses harsh hope against time...
and a quote from Albus Dumbledore to share that also goes with this song...
