Live Afterglow: Prophetic Worship Gathering Live

Heaven bend to take my hand and lead me through the fire/Be the long awaited answer to a long and painful fight/Truth be told, I tried my best, but somewhere along the way/I got caught up in all there was to offer/But the cost was so much more than I could bear.”

That Heavenly Glow

You are the salt of the earth.  But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?  It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

     You are the light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:13-16).

No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl.  Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.  Your eye is the lamp of your body.  When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light.  But when they are bad, your body is also full of darkness.  See to it then, that the light within you is not darkness.  Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you.

All things are wearisome,
More than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
Nor the ear its fill of hearing (Ecclesiastes 1:8).

Even Jesus got in on the sin-eye-connection: “If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.  It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell” (Matthew 5:29).  Jesus doesn’t mess around with the subject.  Luckily, you don’t actually need to pluck out your eyes; for the road to heaven is not paved with plucked eyeballs, but rather with the blood of Jesus Christ.  He gave his life so that you may be saved from your sin and come into a relationship with God.  As it is written,

Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.

Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I’ve lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I’ve lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.
