Lyrics
Verse 1
When I sink into the dark
You are there to pull me back
When I fill myself with pride
I still hear You calling me
Verse 2
When I want to push You aside
Your Spirit burns within my heart
When I hear You speak my name
All my walls are broken down
Pre-Chorus
There's not a single grave,
That Your love can't resurrect
Chorus
Glorious, my love and light, You are true
Like a storm, You're all around, in my bones
Glorious, Your love and light never fade
So shake the earth, open the sky, save us all
Verse 3
Even in these shadowlands
I can see You through the fog
When darkness seems to suffocate
I will wait for Your return
Pre-Chorus
There's not a single grave,
That Your love can't resurrect
Chorus (x2)
Glorious, my love and light, You are true
Like a storm, You're all around, in my bones
Glorious, Your love and light never fade
So shake the earth, open the sky, save us all
Pre-Chorus (x2)
There's not a single grave,
That Your love can't resurrect
Chorus (x2)
Glorious, my love and light, You are true
Like a storm, You're all around, in my bones
Glorious, Your love and light never fade
So shake the earth, open the sky, save us all

Meaning & Inspiration
This worship song describes God's love as light that reaches a person in the dark. The first verse says that when the singer sinks into darkness, God is there to pull back, and that even in pride the voice of God can still be heard calling.
The second verse speaks of the Spirit burning within the heart and of walls breaking down when God speaks the singer's name. The repeated pre-chorus gives the central hope: "There's not a single grave that Your love can't resurrect". The chorus then calls God "Glorious", describes love and light that "never fade", and asks God to "shake the earth, open the sky, save us all".
The third verse pictures shadowlands and fog, with the singer choosing to wait for God's return. The grave and resurrection language is close to the Gospel teaching that Christ gives life to the dead, though the lyrics cite no passage. The song moves from personal struggle toward a wider plea for rescue.
