the light of His face


For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 4:6

God made light shine out of darkness
His words made the light
in a world broken and heartless
His words still shine bright
as in mercy we look to His face

God spoke the words — exploding brightness
filled a void with a universe He created
and He can bring correction and righteousness
to what our sins have now frustrated
if in repentance we look to His grace

Our hearts now remade in new creations
His light flooding all our ways
we see clearly all His intentions
as Christ directs our steps and days
glory streaming from His face

All things new now in gracious light
we go forward boldly now exclaiming:
“Look to Jesus! Find a Savior! Be made right!”
the gospel we love we are proclaiming
“He died for us, lives for us, all wrong He will erase.”

Everywhere we look, knowing His glory and praise
we see the light dispelling night time
we rejoice at the kingdom He will raise
Jesus returns soon in exactly the right time
we will see the glory of God in His face!
