God Saves the Light!
Mathew 5: 14-16
What the world would be,
no light that’s from above!
Black world all men would see;
vice cover this darkened world,
no virtue – no goodness ever here,
unbridled violent selfish vice,
world of hate and fear.
God’s love the light is here,
Let their be light!
Bursting natural light – spiritual light,
shine the earth and in the soul.
Saves us from the black of night,
saves us from the worst of us,
less vice for sure – with the light,
faith some virtue – by grace shine through.
God’s light – by grace we want it to.
The church, with all it’s flaws,
now and through the ages;
will not put out the light,
if it does – it’s only slight,
and only for a season.
Self-righteousness – weakness,
ignorance, and other reasons.
Does the light not shine so bright,
all the time in every season.
But this can only dim the light,
never, never – just the night.
It all comes back, God’s light,
lights our hearts, and our face.
Rushing back to rightful place,
hope and faith – love and grace!
City lights on sprawling hill,
cannot be hid from view;
nor the lamp be under bushel,
light in view immortal,
lamp shines bright,
on top the stand for all to see.
God saves the light for you and me.
