Me:
Lord, shine Your light into the hidden dark places
That rule in my heart and hide from Your graces
I give You permission to expose what is there
Wrong thoughts and attitudes that reside unaware

Holy Spirit guide me so Your Word comes alive
Causing my spirit to awaken and revive
Once I lived in darkness, but now I have the light
I choose to walk with You and always do what’s right

Lord:
Wake up, O sleeper, and rise from your slumber
Hear My Words speak in the rain and the thunder
Make the most of every opportunity I send
In the good and the bad let your understanding transcend

My ways are not your ways so listen for My voice
That is the only way to make the right choice
When you obey My Word, you come to know My will 
Follow Me close so your destiny you’ll fulfill

Romans 13:11-14 – “And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. 14 Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.”
Ephesians 5:8-14 – “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”’
