music monday// light up the sky

sometimes we go through some things, and we yearn for a sign from God to assure us that we are really not alone. and sometimes this yearning is a whisper in prayer, or a thought running round in our minds, hoping that He will do something, give us some sign that He is with us.

and the truth is, He is always with us. even if we don't see the 'sign' we ask for. He is as sure as the sun. He is the sunshine in your hair, the wispy cloud in the sky, the cool, afternoon breeze softly touching your face. God is everywhere. His beautiful creation testify that He is. something cannot come out of nothing, and creation attest to this that He is the Creator, He is the very breath within us. and He is always with us.

i've always loved this song. enjoy!

light up the sky~ the afters

when i'm feeling all alone, with so far to go,

the signs are no where on this road, guiding me home,

when the night is closing in, is falling on my skin

oh, God will You come close.

light, light, light up the sky

You light up the sky to show me You are with me

i, i, i can't deny, no, i can't deny that You are right here with me

You've opened my eyes, so i can see You all around me

You light, light, light up the sky, 

You light up the sky to show me, that You are with me

when stars are hiding in the clouds, i don't feel them shining

when i can't see beyond my doubt, the silver lining

when i've almost reached the end,

like a flood You're rushing in. Your love is rushing in..

so i run straight into Your arms,

You're the bright morning sun

to show Your love there's nothing You won't do.
