Light Up

If you sometimes feel like you're sitting in darkness,

dwelling in shadows and death.

Let Jesus come and shed His great light

and instead of that darkness,

His Light springs forth bright.

He shines His Light on us

and we in turn

let Him shine through us

as we live and learn.

I remember the kid's song that urges us to:

"Hide it under a bushel? NO!

I'm gonna let it shine!"

So be it, Lord.

Daddy

I'll go to his grave

'tho I know he's not there.

I wish I could see him,

once again feel his care.

I wish I could tell him

what a great dad he was.

And give him some kisses

and a great big hug.

He made me feel loved

and oh, so secure.

My childhood was blessed

full of wild fun and cheer.

'Cause he loved to joke

and think of great pranks.

Plus he taught me so much.

I'd love to say 'thanks'

one more time.

Blinding Light

The Lord ~ He is my Light.

I want to walk in the Light,

Live in the Light,

Believe in the Light.

He is the Light of the world.

I don't want to live in darkness

or walk in darkness.

I don't want to be blind.

I want to see,

See You,

See Your Light.

I want only to be blind

To all that is of the darkness.

The Lord ~ He is my Light.

He is my Salvation.

He illuminates with grace,

With freedom,

With joy.

I rejoice in the Light.

Firelight

I'm intrigued by the fact

that one log by itself

doesn't burn so well.

That 2 or 3 must be gathered together

and then there's a fire swell.

Even if that one piece of wood

started with the others.

If it separates out, it soon burns down

The light goes dim and it smolders.

I see a bit of a correlation.

Maybe you do too.
