Evil exists in ways you know not of 
It is the absence of holiness and of love 
Before time began, it was always there 
Freedom of choice comes with a cost, so beware 

Love commanded, is not love at all 
Obedience proves you have answered the call 
You must seek Me with all your heart 
That kind of faith will set you apart

In the midst of a world, so dark and cold
Your love, and your faith I treasure as fine gold
When you obey Me because of your love
You’ll be trusted with My power I send from above

In the dark days coming upon the earth
My glory will shine on you proving your worth
Darkness will flee in the light of My glory
As My Presence invades earth’s territory

You will be known as children of the day
You’ll reflect My glory in full display
Nations will come to the rising of your dawn
By My Spirit, many will be drawn

John 14:23-24 – “Jesus answered and said to him, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.’”

Isaiah 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.
2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.”
