How desperately we try to hold
To what is sinful in our past,
But dawn will not our dark enfold
For sin in light will never last–
His dawn that enters in our life
Proclaims the night is now far gone,
And truth that is His guiding light
Is that for which we’ve always longed.
His light is heaven’s harbinger
Where His truth lives in glory full;
In hearts He shines His Morning Star
And shadows wain, begins light’s rule.
Forgetting past we press ahead
And leave Old Adam in Christ’s grave;
He tries to haunt, but he is dead
And cannot his sin ever save.
For Adam New from grave steps forth
And in each lives His life unique:
Eternal life begins on earth
As Father’s glory each one greets.
PROCLAIMING TRUTH!
