As I Am In Light

I used to think I was the darkness that surrounded me:
      Let me see myself as I am in light.
      Let me know myself as I am in light.
      Let me see myself as I am in light.
      Let me know myself as I am in light.

I used to think I was the shadows of hate that surrounded me:
      Let me see myself as I am in love.
      Let me know myself as I am in love.
      Let me see myself as I am in love.
      Let me know myself as I am in love.

Let me see myself as I am in grace.
Let me know myself as I am in grace.
Let me see myself as I am in grace.
Let me know myself as I am in grace.

My past taught me I was insignificant,
but now I know, in truth, that I am sacred.
My past taught me I was a burden,
but now I know, in truth, that many enjoy my company.
My past taught me I was unlovable,
but now I know, in truth, I am deeply cherished by others.
My past taught me I was a powerless victim,
but now I have tasted the true essence of my courage and power.
My past taught me I was always going to return to a place of suffering,
but now I can see, that in truth, I am divinely protected.
