Haven't heard this song since I abandoned my faith 25 years ago... And just tonight I remembered this song, 1 year into falling to my knees and begging forgiveness and asking the good Lord back into my life. I never understood this song as a kid, but now, now I do... God is merciful, y'all. I saw the light, shining into the darkness... The greatest darkness I had ever experienced, and there he was. He saved me, loved me, even though I wasnt deserving... Even though I was an ungrateful, hateful sinner. God is great... He is merciful. Praise his Holy name.
I was a seeker alone in a dark world, I looked for truth but settled for lies. I had been blinded, I couldn't see Till a Star in Bethlehem's sky opened my eyes. I have seen the Light shining in the darkness, Bursting through the shadows, delivering the dawn. I have seen the Light whose holy name is Jesus, His kingdom is forever; He reigns on Heaven's throne! There in a manger, an innocent baby; Who would believe that He was the One; I can believe it, I know it's true; He changed my life; He is the light; He is God's Son!
