Oh Gracious Light

Small like the stripe of her fingerprints
On the pillow her hand while she's sleeping
Wide like the panoramic stroke of midnight
Tennessee sky

Grace like the expectation of embers
Left after the fire of epiphany
Fear it grows cold in this hour
We will choose who we are on the other side

Oh, gracious light. Oh, gracious light
I have been walking, walking so long, in darkness

Live leaning in when the pain is fierce
Oh, the bow, it will break at His coming
Stand who can understand the design
The refining holy fire

Oh, gracious light. Oh, gracious light
I have been walking, walking so long, in darkness

Feel the sun, feel the heat, on your face
Winter is [?], calling you out of the cave
I want to see your face

Home it is gone like a vapor, a ghost
Hear the echo from corner to corner
Found I am lost in the finding, the keeping
The losing, the slow rebirth

Oh, gracious light. Oh, gracious light
Pure brightness of the ever-living father in heaven

Oh, gracious light. Oh, gracious light
I have been walking, walking so long
I have been walking, walking so long
I have been walking, walking so long in darkness
