This song has always touched my heart in a very special way. In June of 2000 it touched it in a way that I hope no one ever has to experiance. My youngest son, Ryan, who was 3 years old died in a drowning accident. A friend from church offered to sing at his his funeral and I asked him to sing this song. The reason I asked for this song was the line in the chorus that says "to find a way in the darkest night,let your grace shine on us.
Lyrics "Shine On Us" Lord, let Your light Light of Your face Shine on us Lord, let Your light Light of Your face Shine on us That we may be saved That we may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let your light shine on us Lord, let your grace Grace from Your hand Come over us Lord, let your grace Grace from Your hand Come over us That we may be saved That we may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let Your grace come over us Lord, let Your love Love with no end Come over us Lord, let Your love Love with no end Come over us That we may be saved That we may have life To find our way In the darkest night Let Your love come over us Let Your light shine on us
I've yet to hear a group so in sync, so flawless, melodic, and especially so spiritual as Avalon. They are and always have been my all time favorite Christian group. Their message is delivered with such humbling words. Their praise is for God and God alone and it shows. God is good and may he continue to bless and guide you 4 beautiful people.
We did this song for the first time last Sunday. I've read the lyrics. If you have a problem with the sentiment expressed in this song, I recommend that you climb back under your rock.
***** faith without works is dead. we have a specific order that we adhere by and we do not vary from those principles. you do not hold the priesthood and are not free. it is easy to disprove your faith by proving what isn't there. you are not a judge of Isreal, i judge Jew and Gentile. you are not of the law to know what Grace is. you will fulfill all law like Jesus. you are measured by your faith and your deeds. eternal life is knowledge, not getting to Heaven. can you discern the scriptures? what does the xian faith do to the Word of G_D every year? changes it. severely cursed and blind in your pride, not your Father's will. Shalom
Zedekiah Gudza you will adhere to all law, you will surrender every thought to one perfect order, not your own and not any pastor or priest on this Earth. you will act in all manners of Jesus including to be perfect like him. you do not have the authority to teach the doctrines of Jesus, much less about his Father and the Kingdom of Heaven. gentiles do not rule Israel and you will not destroy the true Kingdom of one order.
***** i am beyond Christ. all of those two seed of 1000's and you believe you are perfect. you do not adhere to all of the principles in a Holy Order. you abide in gentile teachings and receive the blindness from those curses. you are not of the law to be under this grace that has you confused. grace alone will not save you. it will cause you to spiritually kill others. quite simply put you do not believe Jesus. you wrap him up in a tiny prison and attempt to act in the likeness of your G_D, in whose mind and ways you should be acting. meaning, not one ounce of the law should be an offense to you. you are under judgement. you are not a prophet and neither do you believe what Jesus taught. you are not saved by faith or grace alone. one needs works and the other requires law, this creates duality/ balance and hidden manna, you do not posses this wisdom and your knowledge is measurable in all paths. G_D is a just god. you do not have the power of G_D to teach about the true laws of Heaven that all children of G_D must abide in to be in accord with their Creators will. you do not make your own paths and you are making the Law nothing. Grace is nothing without the Law. you are not the tribe of Judah or Ephraim and neither do you have the blessings to interpret scriptures with the authority of G_D, because you do not believe you are like Jesus, xian. Shalom
***** you do not posses the blessings to know the mind of G_D or heart of G_D and why we have eternal laws to rule our hearts and minds. you are far behind. you need to comprehend obedience to what Jesus taught in all things you cannot perceive. not one jot or tittle, not your version, only Jesus. you need to seek the mind of G_D. there is a path, you have not walked it.
