Song: Lighthouse

 


there's no battle between dark and light, light chases the dark out every time

who lights a fire only to cover it    let the flame grow brighter


you say that i am the light of the world

a city on a hill for all to see

i can't do it without you first shining your light in me

so i'll be a lighthouse for those lost at sea


a single star to light up the sky, the moon to reflect and illuminate night

together we shine so bright    let the flame grow brighter


you say that i am the light of the world

a city on a hill for all to see

i can't do it without you first shining your light in me

so i'll be a lighthouse for those lost at sea


i cannot be hidden so i will stop trying and be who you made me to be

i surrender to your plan for your ways are higher i'll be who you made me to be

...a lighthouse for all to see

Recently I read 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. This is a pretty familiar passage of scripture for many people, often read at weddings because it talks about and helps define love. As I read it this time, it hit my heart. It brought some tears to my eyes as I felt conviction- the sweet correction of Lord to come back to this perfect standard. That this is the way to live free, and to live in Him. I slowly took a look over the verses and wrote a declarative version to help myself unpack what the Lord was inviting me into- this way of Love. This is meant to be a "declaration" meaning the reader is meant to speak aloud- to hear themselves say the words and agree with themselves. Our words hold power, and faith comes through hearing. I invite you to read and agree with these words for yourselves, if you dare 😉

Open Hands

Open hands To freely give      but Lord, what if they take too much? I will provide. I will supply. Open hands To freely receive      but Lord, what if it's too much to carry? I will be your help. I will tell you when to let go of things. Every good gift is from Above.      What a treasure that it often moves through our hands.
