Shadows Fade

Verse 1

Long nights used to weigh me down,

Shadows tried to steal my crown,

Searching hard for solid ground,

Till Your love came spinning me around.

You found me first when I was lost,

Paid it all at heaven’s cost,

Lit a fire where fear once stood,

Showed my heart what real love could.

Pre-Chorus

Now that sunrise in my soul,

Chasing out the dark and cold.

Chorus

Love one another like You love me,

Let that mercy set us free,

Darkness running from the shine,

True light blazing all the time.

So I move in grace in all I do,

Reflecting back the love from You,

Love one another — let it be,

The living proof inside of me.

Verse 2

Every face I meet today,

Is a chance to give that love away,

Not just talk but hands and feet,

Serving hearts I gently meet.

I don’t need to fight the night,

Just carry forward Your bright light,

Where Your love comes shining through,

Darkness don’t know what to do.

Pre-Chorus

Hope rising up like morning sun,

Telling me the day’s begun.

Chorus

Love one another like You love me,

Let that mercy set us free,

Darkness running from the shine,

True light blazing all the time.

So I move in grace in all I do,

Reflecting back the love from You,

Love one another — let it be,

The living proof inside of me.

Bridge

No need to curse what’s going wrong,

I just sing this brighter song,

One kind word, one helping hand,

That’s how Your kingdom fills the land.

Final Chorus

Love one another like You love me,

That’s the call and destiny,

Shadows fade where love aligns,

‘Cause true light shining always shines.

As I walk this road each day,

I’ll give that love away, away,

Love one another — this will be,

Your legacy alive in me.
