Lyrics: "Light in Every Space"
Verse 1:
In the shadows where I wander, Your light begins to gleam
My soul finds its quiet peace, in Your presence, I am seen
In the soil of my heart, roots of praise take hold
I seek Your face, God, in worship, I'm made bold
Chorus:
Your light surrounds me, light in every space
In Your love I breathe, in Your name I find my place
With every step I take, Your glory I proclaim
Your light, Jesus, I am Yours, forever I claim
Verse 2:
Like rivers in dry seasons, Your Spirit flows in me
Washing dry bones alive, making me whole, setting me free
In the silence, I hear You whisper low
"My child, I am here, in My love, you glow"
Chorus:
Your light surrounds me, light in every space
In Your love I breathe, in Your name I find my place
With every step I take, Your glory I proclaim
Your light, Jesus, I am Yours, forever I claim
Bridge:
You are my sunrise, You light my night
In Your arms, I hide, God, no fear I'll trade
Sweet goodness, Your love pours like rain
Your light leads me home, to Your heart's domain
Chorus:
Your light surrounds me, light in every space
In Your love I breathe, in Your name I find my place
With every step I take, Your glory I proclaim
Your light, Jesus, I am Yours, forever I claim
Outro:
My soul sings praise, echo in the night
Your light, Jesus – forever, You're my light
In the earth, in the heavens – Your name I lift high
Your light, in You, I live, I breathe, I thrive 😊.
