Out Of The Darkness
Tim Hughes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never earn a moment of Your grace
Even in my darkest day
You shine on me
You shine on me
And out of the darkness
You brought me into Your glorious light
Rejoicing in the future, a hope that is mine
The greatest of all gifts
From the greatest of all givers
Jesus there upon the cross
True love displayed for all to see
And your grace runs after me
Runs after me
Everyday of my life
And your mercies they never fail
They never fail
Everyday of my life
In Tim Hughes's song Out Of The Darkness, the lyrics paint a picture of the power and grace of God that transcends time and circumstance. The first verse speaks to the idea that no matter what we do or how long we live, we cannot earn God's grace. It's a gift that we are freely given, even in our darkest moments. The chorus emphasizes the idea that God can bring us out of the darkness and into the light, saving us from peril and giving us hope for the future. This is a powerful message for anyone who is struggling, giving them a glimmer of hope that they can hold onto.
The second verse focuses on the supreme sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross. By dying for our sins, He displayed the ultimate act of love that anyone can give. This is a reminder of the boundless love that God has for us and how His grace can sustain us through even the most difficult times. The bridge of the song is a declaration of God's faithfulness and how His grace and mercy are never-ending. This is a comforting thought for anyone who is struggling, knowing that they can rely on God to always be there for them.

My darkness was as everyone's darkness in the basic sense. I also found myself below this darkness, and in a pit, a deep dark damp pit. And I loved being in this pit, and told others leave me in this pit. And Jesus came into my pit, and He lovingly "brought me into His marvelous light". thank you Tim for this blessed song. It is from the Bible, and your heart, and so it edifies and encourages us, through your gift to us, Jesus' Church; His people, and children.

I am the lords shadow I take all that comes to me darkness and give them my light. for I can not turn a blind eye for every sting of betrayal I keep on my path for even if I am used I do not use others and I will take all my friends sins upon myself even if they do not want me or care I care about them for now and always

It comes down to one vote. Who do you think holds that one decisive vote?
