No light in the darkness you see?

And life more abundant and free!”

Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.”

Bradford said it beautifully on YouTube when he wrote about this iconic song. “One of my favorite hymns of all time. It's such a beautiful song. How easy it is to be overwhelmed these days by everything swirling around us. May you find peace and perspective.”

Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
