Hello readers another month has gone by since my last post and the battle continues to rage within me, but recently God has brought a song into my life by a talented artist named Keri Jobe. The song is called "We are" and I have posted the lyrics below.
Every secret, every shame Every fear, every pain Live inside the dark But that's not who we are We are children of the day
So wake up sleeper, lift your head We were meant for more than this Fight the shadows conquer death Make the most of the time we have left
Chorus: We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine We are the light of the world We are the city on a hill We are the light of the world We gotta, we gotta, we gotta let the light shine Let the light shine, let the light shine
We are called to the spread the news Tell the world the simple truth Jesus came to save, there's freedom in His Name So let His love break through
Bridge: We are the light, We are the light, We are the light So let your light shine brighter We are the light, We are the light, We are the light Jesus You are the light, You are the light, You are the light We will lift You higher Shine, Shine, Shine Chorus Let the light shine, let the light shine
Just this last weekend I was cooking for a women's retreat and as I was serveing I took the opportunity to pray and God kept bringing the lyrics of this song to my heart. especially the first verse. The words "Every secret, every shame Every fear, every pain Live inside the dark But that's not who we are We are children of the day." I kept hearing God tell me, " Rose you are not the darkness you battle, you are a child of the light, my child. I redeemed you and made apart of my light."
It is so easy for me to give into the darkness and let it consume me, and lately I have given in. I don't want to give in anymore and I refuseing to become a child of darkness. Becuase Jesus has made me a child of light and I am the light and I am going to spend each day making sure my His light shines in me. This is not going to be an easy journey and some days I may fail, but I am going to get back up and start again.
I am a child of the light; Jesus Christ!
That is a very beautiful song, Victoria! And yes, the lyrics are very meaningful. Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit okay know. Listening to music, especially inspirational songs, can lift our moods. When you are feeling down and low, music can be your companion. It can impart peace of mind and provide a healthy diversion from the harshness of life. :-) [Russell Dill]
