...and glory filled my soul

Heaven came down and glory filled my soul
When at the cross my Savior made me whole
My sins were washed away
And my night was turned to day
When heaven came down and glory filled my soul

O, what a wonderful, wonderful day
Day I will never forget
When I was wandering in darkness away
Jesus my Savior I met

O, what a tender compassionate Friend
He met the need of my heart
Shadows dispelling with joy I am telling
He made all the darkness depart

O, what a wonderful, wonderful day,
yeah, today
And O, what a glorious, glorious day
The day You came, came to save me
O, what a wonderful, wonderful day
The day You came and You saved me

The times of the deepest, darkest, hardest trials are times when beauty looks most beautiful and love most free. To even think that there is anything beyond it all, beyond all this, beyond what we can see and conceive in our own little ways on our own little world. That is enough for comfort, enough for strength, enough for transcendence in a world where there is no other transcendence And sometimes I just want to feel it, to feel that rush, to see that glory. But it's hard when it depends on faith and even the steps of faith, as you would call them, seem somewhat misguided. Oh why can't it be easier?
There is no answer now. I do not think there will be an answer for quite some time. But I know that there will be one. If nothing else, I have faith that there will be an answer, and when it all falls down, when it all crashes forward and backward and falls apart, it is then and only then that even the strangest of occurrences and the weirdest of instances will have any hope of fitting together. I've tried and failed, at fitting it together. And I wouldn't even say I'm fitting it together on my own. I would, indeed, say that I am fitting it together quite correctly, but the failure in the fitting is the intended outcome.

And maybe I'm wrong. I do hope to be wrong.
But either way, God still stands.
And he sits.
Over this all, this madness, this deafening, harrowing madness.
Although I can't see a way out, at least not now, not yet, just knowing there will be one will be enough to go on, even when there's nothing else to go on. And that's good, because there isn't going to be anything else to go on.

Here's a night, and it shines.
And it calls us on and on.
So be here by my side, and watch the stars.
They're ours.
Make a wish or just take charge.
The moment comes get lost and go far.
I think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart start beating again.
So take it all the way.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
So just let go and fall into it.
We begin, breathe in.
Here's our chance to go for something.
So this is where we win, and take the game.
No blame. There's a neon light inside that shines.
And tearing down the walls in the way.
I think that we've got what it takes, to get this heart start beating again.
So take it all the way.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
Deep inside we both know it.
Everything's hanging on this moment.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
So just let go and fall into it.
It's cold inside, but deep in the night.
The light is bright enough to save the weakest ones but you're in the running.
Oh don't you give up or fade away.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
Whoa, whoa.
So just let go and fall into it.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
Deep inside we both know it.
Everything's hanging on this moment.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
Every action makes a reaction.
We'll figure it out and make it happen.
Whoa, whoa.
And our hearts are on The Everglow.
So just let go and fall into it.
