When You Came

The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned.  ~Matthew 4:16

Light has dawned in the shadow

Life has shattered the dead

Glory has overcome darkness

Sight has revealed what's ahead

Truth unveils the deception

Grace eclipses the shame

Mercy forgives transgression

Found recovers the strayed

You came to bring freedom

You came to bring change

You came to bring light into this darkened world

And nothing remained the same

When You came

You came to bring healing

You came to bring hope

You came to bring life like we've never known before

And everything changed

When You came

Peace has overwhelmed turmoil

Love has drowned out hate

Joy has broken through sorrow

Strength has encouraged the faint

Comfort supplies the needy

Clean washes the stained

Freedom bursts through the chains that have held me

Hope heals all the pain

You came to bring freedom

You came to bring change

You came to bring light into this darkened world

And nothing remained the same

When You came

You came to bring healing

You came to bring hope

You came to bring life like we've never known before

And everything changed

When You came

We were lost

We were broken

We couldn't find You

We were blind

We were wandering

We didn't see You

Until You came
