The Uncreated Light

V1
Light of the world You offered Yourself
You who suspended the earth upon the deep
Were humbly hung on the wood with mockery
Death, you accepted One as dead
But were engulfed by Life instead
Him, Whom you could not keep

Chorus
Hades swallowed a man, but encountered God
And it could not, could not comprehend it
Darkness bathed itself in unrelenting light
And it could not, could not fathom it
Blindsided by its pride while the spear was in Your side
And it could not, could not contain You
No it could not, could not restrain You
Jesus, The Uncreated Light

V2
Sun of righteousness, shattered the darkness
You clothe Yourself with light as with a garment
With radiance, You array the depths where You went
No one, not even Death, can look away
The Dark has fled, the Light is here to stay
Its reign is surely spent  

Bridge
Your blood, shed for me
You cheated Death with glee
Returned with victory
My salvation
Life to the dead, You bring
Let all of creation sing
Hosanna to the King
My redemption
Chased the shadow's lies
Brought the dark's demise
And called the dead to rise
Love of mankind
Who was, and is,
And ever shall be, shine on me
Jesus, The Uncreated Light
