It's 2014!

Happy New Year, everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

Here is a song I that came to my mind this morning after I woke up so I decided to post it.

Shine, Jesus, Shine

Lord, the light of Your love is shining 
In the midst of the darkness, shining;
Jesus, Light of the World, shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth You now bring us:
Shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy.
Send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be light!

Lord, I come to Your awesome presence, 
From the shadows in to Your radiance,
By the blood I may enter Your brightness,
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness:
Shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire. 
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy.
Send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be light!

As we gaze on Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display Your likeness,
Ever changing from glory to glory,
Mirrored here may our lives tell Your story:
Shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire. 
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy.
Send forth Your Word, Lord and let there be light!

Even if it is dark, dreary, and cold outside I want to be filled with Christ's Light!
