The Spark Within (Original Christian Song)

Colossians 1:16 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: In the interest of full disclosure, I used AI to make this. The words are my own. On a side note, this is one of the first things that I wrote back when I started. It's been a while now. It feels a lot more abstract than some of the more recent things. Still fun though. Lyrics A spark, a glimmer, hid in mortal breast, An echo of eternity’s sweet rest. A light from Thee that does abide, To guide us here through storm and tide. The world is dark, and has no respite, from hatred’s root, and sorrow’s blinding night. As if an evil creeps through the air, To make many hearts despair. Yet in the shade, I lift my inward eye, And spy Thy mercy cleaving through the sky. Though sin howls, and cruel shadows dart, Thy hidden fire keeps watch Within my heart. O spark within my soul, O light that makes whole, Lead on, lead on, I pray Through this neverending day. O spark within my soul, Make this poor vessel whole. A plague of locusts upon our trembling hearts, Devouring hope, and tearing joy apart. The adversary sends fiery darts, Yet grace watches, a steady guard. When hearts are cold, and darkness shows it's hand, Thy breath remains, throughout the darkened land. So let me bear this lamp through heavy flood, Till dawn be born, and all be cleansed in Thy blood. O spark within my soul, O light that makes whole, Lead on, lead on, I pray Through this neverending day. O spark within my soul, Make this poor vessel whole. If earth do reel beneath the weight of wrong, And mercy seem a faint and distant song, Yet shall I trust the flame that cannot die, The secret morning hid in Thine own eye. O spark within my soul, O light that maketh whole, Lead on, lead on, I pray Through this neverending day. O spark within my soul, Make this poor vessel whole.
