Grace-Marvelous Light

Here's a song that we sing at church. It is so beautiful, so uplifting, and really encouraging. I felt like I should share it, along with a new verse, verse 3 that I wrote for Miss Leslie. ;)

Verse 1

I once was fatherless, a stranger with no hope,

Your kindness wakened me, wakened me, from my sleep,

Now Your love beckons deeply, a call to come and die,

By grace now I will come, and take this life, take your life.

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting,

From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,

Out of darkness out of shame,

By the cross You are the truth, You are the light, You are the way...

Verse 2

My dead heart now is beating,

My deepest stain's now clean,

Your breath fills up my lungs, now I'm free, now I'm free

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost it's power, Death has lots its sting,

From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,

Out of darkness out of shame,

By the cross Y0u are the truth, You are the life, You are the way...

Verse 3

My dark soul now is lighted,

Your lamp shines brightly forth,

You've filled me up with love,

I'm filled with love, filled with love

Pre Chorus

Sin has lost its power, Death has lost its sting,

From the grave You've risen, victoriously...

Chorus

Into marvelous light I'm running,

Out of darkness out of shame,

By the cross You are the truth, You are the life, You are the way...

It is such a beautiful, healing song. I have almost cried singing it a few times.
