God in a Box
Lyrics
Father of light, come to the dark
Cast out the fear, rise in my heart
Open my eyes, open my ears
‘Til I am sure You’re present here
Calming the raging sea
Reaching Your hand for me
Through tempest nights Your love is true
Help me believe my refuge is You
I will be found safe in Your arms
Waking to view the breaking dawn
Sailing the shining sea
Moved by the breath of Thee
Open my eyes, open my ears
‘Til I observe Your glory here
With all my heart, with all my mind,
with all my strength, I love You
With all my life, with all my breath,
with all my words
I worship You Lord
Every sin I now confess
and You will make me clean
Holy wind of lion’s breath,
lifting me into Your peace
I worship Thee
Behind the Song
In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C.S. Lewis, there was a place called the Dark Island; a place which swallowed up all light. The ship and its crew were lost in this island, for a time which became unknowable, where fear became their greatest tormentor. When a tiny speck of light finally appeared, all eyes were fixed upon it, the ship was turned toward it, and all hope depended upon it. As the speck turned into a broad beam, Aslan as an albatross circled the ship and whispered to Lucy, “Courage, dear heart.” This prayer song invokes our Lord for courage when the dark and stormy times of life overwhelm us with fear.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me. (Psalm 23:4)
