From the recording Original Songs
This song is based on 1 John 1:5-9 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light, and there is absolutely no darkness in him. If we say, “We have fellowship with him,” and yet we walk in darkness, we are lying and are not practicing the truth. If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say, “We have no sin,” we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:5-9, CSB)
Lyrics
Darkness run away and hide! Turn upon your heels and flee.
The presence that is here inside illumines me.
The light of Jesus' face will all our sins reveal,
The fullness of His grace wipes away every trace
God of Light, God of truth,
God of everything that's pure and right and good
Through Your blood I am clean,
I can stand inside Your glow as purest white, God of light.
Children of the light be free! Your chains lay broken at your feet
Turn away and set your gaze on Christ the King.
The light of Jesus' face will all our sins reveal,
The fullness of His grace wipes away every trace
Shine on me, shine on me,
Jesus shine on me, shine on me!
