Below, you will find lyrics that I wrote today. I was able to spend the lunch hour outside, enjoying the awesomeness of Fall, and I felt these words in my heart. I made a major choice yesterday that finally brought me closer to where I feel that I need to be with God. I have felt like Jonah for the past 6 months, and I think that God is about ready to spit me out onto the beach. Let me know what you think of the lyrics. I will hopefully be able to get with my friend Tim and put some melody to this. When that is done, I will post for you to critique.

Your Light
Verse 1
Through the darkest night
In my hopeless place
The nectar of despair
Is my only saving grace

Chorus 1
Crying out, with my hands raised, I yearn for your embrace
I long for you to touch my heart, And take me out of this dreadful place

And into your light
Into your light
That’s where I need to be
Where I long to be

Verse 2
Father, please see me
In the light of your sweet mercy
Don’t see me as myself
Or through the mistakes I’ve made

Chorus 2
I’m not as much as I’ve claimed to be, but through your love I can be anything
All I want to be is yours, and this is why I sing

I wanna be your light
Consumed by your light
I’m giving myself to you
Don’t give me back until you’re through.

I'm sure that there will be a bridge of some sort, but I don't want to go building bridges to nowhere. let me know what you think.
