Light Up the Sky

Light Up the Sky

It’s Melodic Monday and the song I chose for today is Light Up the Sky by the Afters. I felt that this would be a great way to start our work week to be reminded of God’s loving presence in our lives. The Afters tell about the song on their web site this way: “Light Up The Sky is a song about Gods faithfulness. He is with us not only during the good times, but also when we’re walking through life’s valleys.” Listen and be blessed!

When I’m feeling all alone
With so far to go
The signs that know we’re on this road
Are guiding me home
When the night is closing in
Is falling on my skin
Oh God, will you come close

You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me
And I, I, I can’t deny
No I can’t deny that you and right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes
So I can see you all around me
You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

When stars are hiding in the clouds
I don’t feel them shining
When I can’t see beyond my doubt
The silver lining
When I’ve almost reached the end
Like a flood you’re rushing in
Your love is rushing in (your love is rushing in)

You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me
And I, I, I can’t deny

No I can’t deny that you and right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes
So I can see you all around me
You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

So I’ll run straight to your arms
You’re the bright and morning sun
To show your love there’s nothing you won’t do (nothing you won’t do)

You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me
And I, I, I can’t deny
No I can’t deny that you and right here with me
You’ve opened my eyes
So I can see you all around me
You light, light, light up the sky
You light up the sky to show me that you are with me

(Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
That you are with me
Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh
That you are with me
Oooh, oh , oh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh)

Gracious God,
Be praised forever and ever!
Thank you for always being with us
no matter where we are,
no matter what we are feeling,
no matter what the world says.
Thank you for your undying love,
empowering grace,
and everlasting peace.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
