Verse 1:
In the hush before the dawn Your whisper fell like rain,
It rinsed the grit from weary lungs and washed away my pain.
I tasted morning on Your breath — sweet manna on my tongue,
You braided sunlight through my nights and taught my heart to hum.
Pre-Chorus:
I held the pieces of my fear, cold glass beneath my hands,
Then Your voice, a cedar scent, called me out from desert lands.
My knees were salted, eyes were dim, but hope began to rise —
A small bright seam across the dark that opened into skies.
Chorus (1 - Praise):
God, You are the everlasting light,
A lamp that finds me in the deep of night.
You lift my face, You steady every step —
You are light.
Verse 2 (Testimony):
There was a night I walked alone, streets whispering like ghosts,
I bartered all my little truths for safety’s empty boasts.
But You came like a promised friend — a harbor, not a plan,
You set my feet on rock again and took my shaking hand.
Pre-Chorus (repeat with variation):
The scent of rosemary and rain, the memory of grace,
Your promises like lanterns hung along my broken place.
I learned to name the fear aloud and watch it lose its sway,
Because You showed the narrow door that led me into day.
Chorus (2 - Gratitude):
God, You are the everlasting light,
The strength that steadies every fear at night.
With grateful breath I lift this song of Yours —
You are light.
Verse 3 (Biblical Scene):
Like sea walls made of memory, Your wonders split the tide,
A path of sky beneath my feet where once the water sighed.
You fed us simple bread and hope, a story old and true,
From desert dust to Promised Land, Your mercy carried through.
Bridge A (Contrast):
There were winters in my chest, the frost that numbed my pride,
I watched my garden wither, felt the tide take what I’d tried.
Every echo said I’d lost the plot, the map, the name I knew —
And every promise frayed like ropes that creaked under the bruise.
Bridge B (Resolution):
Then flame returned to fingertips, and morning tasted sweet,
You wrote my name in cedar ink and made my heartbeat meet.
Where doubt had stood as prison walls, Your windows opened wide —
I walked from shadow into song, You standing by my side.
Refrain (after Bridge):
Hallelujah for the found, hallelujah for the way,
Hallelujah for the grace that saves the scattered day.
Chorus (3 - Surrender):
God, You are the everlasting light,
I lay my worn-out colors down tonight.
All that I was, all I will be, placed in Your hands —
You are light.
Outro:
Everlasting in the morning, constant as the tide,
Your mercy is my garment, Your name my sure divide.
I’ll walk this road of many skies until my last small breath —
Held by the everlasting light, beyond the grip of death.
Tag:
You are light — You are light — You are light.
