I wrote this song about 40 years ago. I first learned this tune in Young Life meetings that I attended in the late 1960s. There, it was the melody for "In God's Green Pastures." About a decade later I discovered that I could use it to paraphrase 1 John 1:5-9. It's amazing how well it fits. And, I'm so happy to see that it is still being sung by Christians around the world today.
What a joy to walk in His presence and experience His cleansing from every sin... such a joy to enjoy the fellowship with the saints in the light. PTL.
There was a hymn sung in the Methodist Church by The Choir, "God is the light of the world in Him there is no Darkness at all, and the night is as clear as the day, for the darkness and the light are the same to Him. Therefore, you follow him will live in the Heavenly light. And He will bless you and keep you in peace, in Heavenly peace!
I was recently enlightened very much that only God is light.
Many times, I condemned myself with the doctrines I've heard but not with the real light of God. I thought I was in light, but I was in the greater darkness.
Praise the Lord that only He is light!
Psalm 36:9 says this, " For with You is the fountain of life;/ In Your light we see light." The first light is the enlightening light from God, and the second light denotes the true nature of things. This means that we can only see the true nature of anything when we are in the light of God. Only sees the true nature of something when he lives in God's light.
