Let It Live In Me

LET IT LIVE IN ME (Janis Kelly @2007)

There is a light that is shining—from deep within my soul;
There is a flame that is burning—way down inside my heart;
There is a spark of hope, that guides my way,
When darkness starts to fall;
It's called forgiveness—forgiveness;
And it can live inside us all!

Chorus: So let it live in me, dear Lord, let it live in me!
Let your mercy and your goodness always have a home in me!
Let it live in me, dear Lord, let it live in me!
Let the power of true forgiveness live—in me!

Sometimes it seems impossible—to heal our wounded lives;
Sometimes the past feels too powerful—to ever leave behind;
But God gave us a way, to ease the pain,
Of what we've all been through;
It's called forgiveness—forgiveness!
And it can live in me and you!

Chorus

I want to hold a space for true forgiveness, and for true piece of mind;
I want to be someone who stands in freedom for myself and all mankind;
I want to have compassion for my brother, irregardless of his deeds;
I want to show the world that we can live in peace and perfect harmony.

So let Your light keep shining—from deep within my soul;
And let Your flame keep burning—way down inside my heart;
And let Your spark of hope still guide my way,
When darkness starts to fall;
And let forgiveness—forgiveness;
Oh, Lord, keep living in us all!

Chorus
