sunday song

God has been teaching me a lot about what it means to have an identity based in Christ, of knowing what it truly feels like to be His child.  I am learning that I am so much to Him and that He wants to use me, even me, for His Kingdom.

When Ben Shive sang this song at BTLOG this year it immediately pricked my heart.  The first time I heard the line about remembering how much light you have a warmth flooded through me.  All of us, who belong to Him, through our Savior have this wondrous light to shine. Despite what WE may feel about our abilities, weaknesses, pasts, etc HE uses all of that and us to shine a light in the darkness.  

Love

when you go from here

take only what you need

and all you need is the word that you believed

a lamp to light the road before your feet

Remember how much light you have

And I can't go with you

but you won't be alone

My spirit in your head will lead you home

And though the world won't know you

though you won't be received

one day you'll shake the dust off of your feet

So remember how much light you have

how much light you have

And the voice that ignites the stars in the sky

spoke in your heart to spark a fire that won't die

so don't hide it away

hold ig up high

til the souls in the dark behold a marvelous light

And remember how much light you have

How much light you have
