IF I COULD, I’D WRESTLE WITH THE ANGEL
Until You bless me
I’m coming through
Banging at the doorway: Let me in
You know that I want You
With all of my being
Searching with all the
Strength that’s in me
I’m seeking to find You
While You can be found
But I can’t wait until the
Morning comes so
Shine, shine into the darkness
Lord, so shine to us
I’ve scaled the walls
And hunted through the city for my lover
I’ve climbed the towers
In my desperation to have You near
Shine, shine into the darkness
Lord, so shine to us
As a sign in the sky, as a beacon of light
As the brightest of fires
In the depths of the night so
Shine tonight
Ken Riley
