Walk in Wisdom

Sabbath Psalm (April 19-20)
(From Seth Davey’s new hymn, “Let There be Light”)

Words that echoed through the void without resistance
Bringing something out of nothing to existence
Creating time and space
Holding everything in place
A genesis I can’t condense into a sentence
A voice that broke through all my sinful inhibitions
And woke my soul up from its sleep with one incision
That tore the veil in two
And bid me come on through
A fact my tongue cannot describe with great precision

Heaven smiled
Oh my heart went wild
When Your voice shattered the night
And the same four words that brought forth the world
You spoke to me and brought me to life
When you said, “Let there be light!”

Oh, there’ve been times I’ve felt defeated
Closed the book I knew I needed
Found my faith stuck in sinking sand
But You were gentle in Your reprimand
And You’d tell my heart without condemnation
That the highs and lows of my soul’s migration
Are lined in the palm of Your hand
And then I’d understand

Heaven smiled
Oh I leapt like a child
When Your voice shattered the night
And the same four words that brought forth the world
You spoke to me and brought me to life
When You said, “Let there be light!”
