Children Of Light

Born of the Light,
Pure and flawless.
Thriving with joy
In peace and love.

Then came that day,
The tempter sly.
Doomed deceiver,
Father of lies.

Disobedient,
Both went astray.
Children of Light
Stumbled and marred.

His heart broken,
Creator came
To the Garden
Robbed of its bliss.

He came seeking
The hiding man.
Hiding in shame,
Fearful in guilt.

Calling for Him,
Creator seeks.
No more hiding,
No where to hide.

"I was afraid
And so I hid,"
Replied the man,
In shame and guilt.

In between love
And holiness,
God took his stand.
Judgement pronounced.

On its belly
The Serpent crawled.
Children of Light,
Flawed and banished.

BUT...

It's not over.
God incarnate,
Emmanuel.
A babe was born.

Humility,
God chose to dwell
Among sinners,
Blinded and lost.

Going through life
Just as we did.
Tempted and tried,
Victorious still.

Passover came,
He drank the cup
In obedience
to God His LORD.

Sinless made sin,
Son of Most High.
Grace streaming down,
The royal blood.

Children of Light,
Bought at a cost.
Condemned rebels,
Purchased by grace.

On the cross hung
Our Savior King.
Risen to life,
Death defeated.

Breaking bondage,
Crushing strongholds,
Smashing the chains,
The slaves set free.

Arise and shine,
Rise to Battle.
Awaken now,
Children of Light
