SONG FOR SOMEONE

Song for Someone
Jesus: "I shall ask the Father to give you Someone else to stand by you, to be with you always. I mean the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, for it can neither see nor recognise that Spirit." John 14:15-20 PHILLIPS

Jesus: "I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth." John 14:15-17 MSG
If there is a light you can't always see
And there is a world we can't always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light, don't let it go out
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5 NIV
​
Jesus: "See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness." Luke 11:35 NIV
 
Jesus: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” John 8:12 NIV
 
Jesus: “You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” John 12:35-36 NIV
 
Jesus: "I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." John 12:46 NIV
I'm a long way from your Hill of Calvary
And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left. ​Luke 23:33 NKJV
 
When they got to the place called Skull Hill, they crucified him, along with the criminals, one on his right, the other on his left. Luke 23:33 MSG
If there is a kiss I stole from your mouth
Jesus: "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" Luke 22:48 NKJV/NIV/NASB
