confession, faith and light

13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. ~James 5:13-16

"Faith Like That" by Jonah 33

I have heard about the days of old
About the men who followed You
And how they saw the supernatural
And became the chosen few

So I come before You now
Tearing off my earthly crowns
for this one thing I have found

I want faith like that
To see the dead rise
or to see You pass by
Oh I, I want faith like that
Whatever the cost
I'll suffer the loss, oh I
I want faith like that

I'm not looking for a miracle
Signs and wonders are things thereof
I caught a glimps of what You want from me
and what I have is not enough

I read the story one more time
of those who gave to You their lives
With no fear or compromise

I want faith like that
To see the dead rise
or to see You pass by
Oh I, I want faith like that
Whatever the cost
I'll suffer the loss, Oh I
I want the faith that can move any mountain
and send them to the sea
I want the faith that can break every stronghold
That keeps you, keeps you from me

I want faith like that
To see the dead rise
or to see You pass by
Oh I, I want faith like that

I want faith like that
To see the dead rise
or to see You pass by
Oh I, I want faith like that
Whatever the cost
I'll suffer the loss, Oh I
I want faith like that, a Faith like that

"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives." ~1 John 1:5-10
