Darkness to Light
The depth of our depravity we really cannot see
For only God Who's purest Light can see iniquity
For what it truly is to Him in all it's grief and pain
And how it brought upon our hearts its deadly sinful stain
For only God Who's purely Love without one fault at all
Knows what is lost to all of those who fail to heed His call
To come out from the darkness of the life they knew before
To where He's waiting with His grace to give us so much more
More of His great abundance in a life that's pure and clean
Washed by His blood of sacrifice the sinner's never seen
But knows by faith is offered us to wash away all sin
To make us one in Christ alone Who is the sinner's Friend
Because of all He's done for us from throne to bed of hay
From turbulence in childhood to that sacrificial day
When on the cross that was not His He died for you and me
And then rose to begin again His Work in victory
His work that will conclude when from the temple up above
The sensor will be cast to earth the scriptures tell us of
When all His interceding will have reached its final end
And greatest tribulation on this earth will then begin
As unleashed from restraining the four winds will start to blow
And Satan will be free work in those who would not go
To meet the Lord in daily prayer established on His Word
But chose instead the lies of men where Truth could not be heard
And as that tribulation builds in its intensity
And life appears about to breathe its last for you and me
The darkness we'd not known before will finally meet the Light
As Christ returns in glory at the darkest time of night
And blasts away that darkness as He calls the dead to hear
The Call of resurrection for the ones He holds most dear
Who loved Him from a faithful heart when they were laid to sleep
In safety in the stone cold grave His precious ones to keep
Until they rise in glory from the darkness of the tomb
Clothed with the brightness of His light when there will be no room
For doubt or sin or darkness as the Light is all there'll be
Throughout this universe in Love that reigns eternally
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 1:7; Hebrews 2:14-15
