Thanks to BooMama, one of my favorite ladies in the "blawg" world, I rediscovered this song. What is amazing is that I picked Bethany Dillon's cd up this summer and it remained on my stereo. Notice I said on my stereo, not in my stereo. I have that tendency to pick up cds, listen to them once, and put them away for months. I picked this one back up after the Shane and Shane concert when she performed it. Her transparency and acoustic grit make this song so authentic and touching.
But, the lyric that really catches my breath every time is
Jesus, wherever You lead, I'll sing harmony. Hold me God.
It's just a great picture of obedience, knowing that I don't have all the answers, but when I'm empty, He is more than enough.
This song is so speaking to my heart right now. I have a feeling that it will make the top 10 of my soundtrack very soon.
"Let Your Light Shine"
The Calmer of the sea
Here in this room with me
So gently welcoming
The weakest things in me
You are the blood over
The door of my heart
What pain You spared me from
How could I know it all?
Oh wonderful love, You died for me
The power of Your life is in me
Father, let Your light shine down on me
Father, let Your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let Your light shine down on me
Oh Jesus, You became what was my deepest shame
That at Your very name
My calloused heart would change
How could You, oh perfect One
Love me, when I have done nothing that's worthy of
My freedom You have won
Oh wonderful love, You died for me
The power of Your life is in me
Father, let Your light shine down on me
Father, let Your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let Your light shine down on me
Open up the heavens
Poor down Your Spirit
Home me God
Jesus, wherever You lead
I'll sing harmony
Hold me God
Father, let Your light shine down on me
Father, let Your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let Your light shine down on me
