The Unseen Light



'Neath the shadow of the cross

In the shadow of his wings

The outstretched arms of Jesus bid me come

In the shadows there is shade

Where my weary soul is stayed

There's a shelter where I hide till time is done


The shadows speak of something greater

By which their forms are cast

Things we cannot see till later

When this wilderness is past


Now in this darkened mirror

Glimpses of those days draw nearer

And we apprehend a longing in our souls

So we seek an unseen light

In the shadows of the night

For the things unseen will one day make us whole

Then the shadows yield our reason and our goal


The shadow of the cross is cast

Upon this wilderness so vast

For it is formed by the unseen light

Our light and our salvation 

Brings forth illumination 

And our darkened eyes are given sight


So now in our shadowland

There's a purpose and a plan

Where we learn to walk by faith

And not by sight

There the unseen hand will guide

Through his Word were to abide

It will lead us home in the unseen light


The shadow of the cross is cast

Upon this wilderness so vast

For it is formed by the unseen light

Our light and our salvation 

Brings forth illumination 

And our darkened eyes are given sight
