I love singing. Now, mind you, Im not great at it, but I love it. I enjoy the thought of my singing being praise to the Creator of the world and lifting up words that mean something to the universe. Recently, our church, New Pointe Community, had something called Night of Praise. The whole evening was singing with some scripture added into the evening as well. We sang a song that I have been turning in my head ever since. I looked it up online, watched videos of the people who wrote it and I love the message and story behind the song.
One of the writers, Jason Ingram, talked in a video about how his fellow writer Reuben Morgan talks of this song as a confession. Basically confessing to God all that He is in light of all that we are and are not. I encourage you to read over the lyrics. And in whatever place you are in to read this as a love letter to God. It is so lovely and true. May His Light reign forever in your lives.
Forever Reign
You are good, You are good
When theres nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
On display for all to see
You are light, You are light
When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin
You are peace, You are peace
When my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
Even in my wandering
You are joy, You are joy
Youre the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life,
In You death has lost its sting
Oh, Im running to Your arms,
Im running to arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
You are more, You are more
Than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, You are here
In Your presence Im made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else Im letting go
Oh, Im running to Your arms
Im running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
My heart will sing
no other Name
Jesus, Jesus
Oh, Im running to Your arms
Im running to Your arms
The riches of Your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign
Stik a Fork into singing, proclaiming God for who He is and believing in His light.
