“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
Verse 1
Before I ever knew Your mercy,
before I called upon Your Name,
You loved me with an endless love
and carried all my guilt and shame.
You saw the wounds hidden within me,
the fears I tried so hard to hide;
yet You did not come to condemn me,
but to walk forever by my side.
You know the secrets of my heart,
the thoughts no one else can see;
yet still You call me to surrender
and become the person You created me to be.
Pre-Chorus
Lord, let Your truth awaken me;
let Your light reveal my way.
Give me courage to follow You
and leave behind what keeps me far away.
Chorus
I choose the light that leads to life,
the love that conquered sin and death;
I choose the voice of Christ my Savior,
the One who gives eternal rest.
Reveal whatever separates me
from the Kingdom You prepare;
for nothing in this world is greater
than dwelling forever in Your care.
Verse 2
Your Word is like a burning lamp
that shines upon the darkest road;
it shows the places needing healing,
the heavy burdens that I hold.
You do not expose my weakness
to shame or cast me aside;
You reveal the chains that bind me
so I may walk in freedom by Your side.
Whether pride or selfish desire,
whether anger, greed, or lies,
You call me to a deeper freedom
found beneath Your loving eyes.
Pre-Chorus
Lord, let Your grace transform me;
let Your Spirit make me new.
May every part of who I am
be surrendered completely to You.
Chorus
I choose the light that leads to life,
the love that conquered sin and death;
I choose the voice of Christ my Savior,
the One who gives eternal rest.
Reveal whatever separates me
from the Kingdom You prepare;
for nothing in this world is greater
than dwelling forever in Your care.
Bridge
You have loved sinners from the beginning,
yet You never called the darkness light;
You came to heal and to restore us,
to guide our hearts toward what is right.
Your mercy is greater than my failures,
Your grace is stronger than my past;
and when I trust in Your redemption,
Your transforming love will last.
Teach me to desire Your will above my own,
to seek the treasures found in Heaven alone;
for every earthly thing will pass away,
but Your truth remains forever.
Chorus
I choose the light that leads to life,
the narrow road that brings me home;
I choose the love of Christ forever,
and never walk this path alone.
Lord, shine Your light upon my heart;
let every shadow disappear.
For where Your holy presence reigns,
there is freedom, hope, and peace.
And when my journey here is over,
and faith becomes eternal sight,
may I rejoice within Your Kingdom,
forever walking in Your light.
Ending
Lord Jesus, shine Your light upon my heart.
Reveal my sins, heal my soul, and lead me in Your truth.
May I choose You above all things and inherit Your Kingdom.
Amen.
