INTO MARVELLOUS LIGHT I’M RUNNING
Out of darkness, out of shame
By the cross, You are the Truth
You are the Life, You are the Way
I once was fatherless,
A stranger with no hope
Your kindness wakened me,
Wakened me from my sleep
Your love it beckons deeply,
A call to come and die
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take Your life
Sin has lost its power, death has lost its sting
From the grave You’ve risen victoriously
My dead heart now is beating
My deepest stains now clean
Your breath fills up my lungs
Now I’m free, now I’m free (repeat)
Lift my hands and spin around
See the light that I have found
O the marvellous light, marvellous light
Charlie Hall
