"The Light" - Brandon Heath

"Yes, I am going to send you to the Gentiles, to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God's people, who are set apart by faith in me." -Acts 26:17b-18, NLT

Every time I see this dance it makes me cry... the words remind me that there really is light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is the person of Jesus Christ. Emily's choreography beautifully represented the struggle that we feel as we strive to find the answers to our pain and the questions of life. It's OK to cry, OK to fight and strive for the light, and He is there at the end with His arms wide open to recieve us.











The hand that feeds the fire
The lips that taste the smoke
All together once again
The moon that hangs so pale
The dark that makes you choke
Comes to cover you again

Stay close you people with your broken hearts
I stand before you as a witness
Hold tight to the man that stands in front of you
As we move toward the light

The will that knows no end
The eyes that see your heart
Come to look on you once more
The word that shakes the ground
The voice that clams the sea
Stands knocking at your door

Stay close you people with your broken hearts
I stand before you as a witness
Hold tight to the man that stands in front of you
As we move toward the light
