You Are The Light That Shines And Shows Me The Way

 1. some lyrics for my current season of life:

    when the storm is raging all around me
    you are the peace that calms my troubled sea
    and when the cares of this world darken my day
    You are the light that shines and shows me the way

    oh, the beauty of Your majesty
    on the cross You showed Your love for me!

    beautiful Lord, awesome and mighty
    i’m captured by this love i see
    beautiful Lord, tender and holy
    Your mercy brings me to my knees
    it’s Your mercy that has made me free
    beautiful Lord

    when my sin is all that i can see
    Your grace remains the shelter that i seek
    and when my weakness is all i can give
    Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again

2. answered prayer is beautiful!
