He was here long before

all things I  know.

But now I have seen him

been set aglow.

Experienced his touch

even in strife.

I proclaim it is he

who gives life.

He came long ago,

yet I know it is true,

I tell that  you know

it is even for you.

Amazing it is that

God would do this.

Makes me want to be

a servant of his.

Please listen I want you

also to care.

Father and Jesus,

their love we can share.

People who acknowledge

this amazing hope.

Praise and worship

for he helps us cope.

In him I have come

from darkness to light.

Revealing my failings,

and all that I fight.

In darkness I  fear,

what I cannot see.

The light suddenly makes

my worries just flee.

Striving counts for nothing,

for then I see him.

His sacrifice alone

purifies me from sin.

Living in the light,

My faults God does see .

I weak often failing,

Now sees  Jesus not me.

Some cling to darkness,

going terribly astray.

Dark soul, heart and mind,

and go their own way.

I try my very beat,

as a good servant of his.

But I know, have proven,

his ideals I will miss.

Praise for the cross,

where my sins were paid for.

My failures forgiven,

He says come through my door.

My every thought

the light will lay bare

Even then God says

he will still care.

Freedom from striving,

yet doing my best.

Feeling just like I am

God’s favourite guest.

Not just for me.

Amazing it may seem.

The whole world can have

this amazing dream.
