Let there be Light
🎵Let there be Light (Vibrations Remix) - NEW SONG RELEASE
I am delighted to share the next Soaking Song with you: Let There Be Light.
This piece first came to life in 2009 as part of my very first album. Back then, it was called Vibrations.
At the time, I was reflecting on the opening verses of Genesis, where the Bible says:
"And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters."
— Genesis 1:2
I remember reading about the word "moved", and how the Spirit of God hovered over the waters before creation fully came into being. I read somewhere, the word hovered was like a vibration movement over the waters before God spoke and said, "Let there be light."
Whenever I played this piece on the piano, the music carried me away to a different place. I would play the full piece with my eyes closed and felt myself drifting away. It felt as if I was transported with Jesus into vast galaxies, as though He was taking me through the heavens, showing me the stars and the wonder of His creation, like He wanted me to see how amazing it was.
It was always such an incredible, joyful, and peaceful experience. There was no talking, but I would have a smile on my face, and even though I could not truly make out Jesus' face, I knew He too had a smile on His face. He would point to things and places, and our heads would turn to one another, and our eyes met and we smiled.
Sadly, I can no longer play the piece, but it has now found new life as a song, and the meaning has shifted for me as well.
Where it once felt like a journey through creation with Jesus, it now feels like a prayer over my own heart.
The scripture has become very personal:
"Let there be light."
— Genesis 1:3
There are places in my heart where I need the light of God. Places that need healing. Places that need life again. Places where the ground has become hard and needs to be broken up so that something new can grow.
And so, as I listen to this piece now, I feel like opening my chest, exposing my heart and pleading:
God, take my heart in Your hands and speak light over the darkness and deep places of my heart.
Spirit of God, over the waters, over the deep, let there be Light.
Breathe upon the silence, move upon the deep, breathe upon my being, make my heart anew.
Shine Your light on the things that need healing.
Shine Your light on the ground that has become hard.
Bring life where life is needed.
Restore what needs to be restored.
Let there be Light. Let there be Life!
"For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts..."
— 2 Corinthians 4:6
My prayer is that as you listen, this song will become a quiet place of surrender for you too.
May the Spirit of God move gently over the deep places of your heart.
May His light shine into every place that needs hope, healing, and life.
And may the One who said, "Let there be light," speak those words over you again.
Let there be Light.
Let there be Life.
Thank you for being here, and thank you for listening. May the song bless you.
With love, Marilyn 💜
