Bathed in Light

When my world becomes bathed in light
Those dark shadows have to flee,
The unknowns are no longer scary,
And the gray disappears.

When my world becomes bathed in light
Those lies are seen for what they are,
The traps are evident,
And that net will no longer be able to keep me from my destiny.

When my world becomes bathed in light
Hope over takes despair,
Joy wins over sadness,
And the spirit of His acceptance of me tramples those condemning accusers.

When my world becomes bathed in light
My fears of failure,
And those anxious thoughts of what might happen
Are replaced with courage, confidence, and peace.

When Jesus comes and baths me with the truth of His love
And turns the eyes of my heart on...so I can see...
I am bathed with the light of truth...

Yes, the truth that I am magnificently loved... even though...
Even though I think I do not measure up
Even though I rejected Him with my words,
Even though I am in a mess right now...

When the eyes of my heart receive His light...
I realize that He is so good
And the Love He has for me is beyond my comprehension.

As He baths me in His truth
I enter into that beautiful, broad, green place
That is saturated with the fragrance of hope.
That place where the circumstance no longer has to control my emotions,
 Because the truth of His love now reigns
And frees me to look outside the box,
And believe...
