Bebo Norman: "Great Light of the World"

Bebo Norman is one of my favorite artists. I first saw him perform about nine years ago, and I was really impressed by how down-to-earth, gifted, and engaging he was. I find his music very "real." Harry and I actually danced to "A Page is Turned" at our wedding. This is one of his more recent songs, and it's one of my favorites. We sang it in church today, and I was once again struck by the lyrics. Enjoy.



Sometimes at night
I am afraid
I cover my eyes,
Cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The wind of this world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
But here in the dark
I’m not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The light of your grace
To fill up my heart
