T here is a light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
The search for enlightenment ensue
And the lure of darkness forever pursue
Though great and small lights of this world are a wonder
The blink of an eye, their magnificence plunder
There is a light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
If this be true or a tale of the age
The human thought or will, can never gauge
Though many ears hear and many mouths confess
True faith is awakened in the heart that truly repents
There is a light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
This light that has no end
Darkness nor power exist, that can defend
A light so bright, not one shadow be cast
Against this truth, not one will last
There is a light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
Oh what joy it is to be enlightened
When in the abyss of darkness, we’re frightened
To behold the light and realize we are bound
Not to find but to be found
For those He predestined, He called, He justified
A whisper into dark lost souls, “Let there be Light!”
This the good news of the Gospel of Christ
Christ, the light that justice had priced
The cost of our ransom from death to life
The Messiah paid through death and life
Raised to the right hand at the Father’s throne
Worship and glory the Saviour alone
Christ, the light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
All who believe in Him shall not perish
And to believe in truth is to be men that relish
God with heart, with mind and might to gain
The gift of life in those born-again
He is found by those He found
By will to choose to Him be bound
With fear and trembling, we work thus
Conformed to Christ who dwells in us
By the Spirit who kindles the flame
In our hearts, to make us lights for His fame
The day will come when darkness be cast
On the flames of wrath for treacheries past
Tears the eye no longer bears
As praise arise from the mouths of heirs
Lay down the crowns upon each head
Behold the Prince whose blood was shed
And eternity will be too short
To gaze upon the beauty of God
Then every heart will be assured
“All things worked for my good”
There is a light revealed in the past
Unseen to man, lingers to be found.
The light that saved us from our sin
Will flame within us forever therein.
