>> “ and come to Him by Faith.” <<
Precisely!
Without that faith, there can be no application for grace. It cannot be of effect to those who reject the faith delivered on the first shavuot, at Mt. Sinai.
That is what Paul explained in Hebrews ch 3 and 4.
.
.
There’s a place in the darkness I use to cling to.
That presses harsh hope against time.
In the absence of martyrs there’s a presence of thieves.
who only want to rob you blind.
They steal away any sense of peace tho I’m a king.
I’m a king on my knees.
And I know they are wrong when they say I am strong. As the darkness covers me.
So I turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid.
To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness, I have a kingdom to gain.
Where there is peace and Love in the Light in the Light, I am not afraid.
To let your light shine bright in my life In my life.
There are ghosts from my past who have owned more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away.
They linger in closets and under my bed.
And in pictures less proudly dis-played.
A great fool in my Life I have been. Have squandered til pallid and thin.
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame.
From darkness I know I’ve let win.
So turn on the light and reveal all the glory
I am not afraid
To bear all my weakness, knowing in meekness
I have a kingdom to gain
Where there is peace and love in the light
In the light ,
I am not afraid
To let your light shine bright in my life, in my life
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me? (5x)
I’ve never been much for the bearing of soul
In the presence of any man
I’d rather keep to myself all safe and secure
In the arms of a sinner I am.
