Seeking What Is Wise ~

Lord, may I be a seeker,
a follower of Your Light
may I have the wisdom . . .
like the Magi’s did that night.
May I travel the distance,
regardless of how far
may I be willing to go
to wherever You are.
May I have the resolve,
to follow where You lead
may I have to Your will
the strength to always heed.
May I have the tenacity,
not to give up or quit
may I be to Your ways
determined to submit.
May I have the fortitude,
to journey into what is wise
may I have the insight
so Your path I’ll recognize.
Lord, may I always seek You,
like the Magi’s did that night
may I have the courage . . .
to follow after wisdom’s Light!

The Morning Star’s Light ~

A single star shinning,
on a moonless night
God’s gift to the world
wrapped up in the Light.
Wise men make the journey,
from places east and far
in search for what they know
will be the Morning Star.
With gifts they set out,
to the town of Bethlehem
to find the Babe, the Savior
who came not to condemn.
And so they came to be,
face to face with their King
knowing He was the Prince
who eternal peace would bring.
One single, solitary star,
still beckons the world today
to follow the Light that leads . . .
to the Truth, Life and Way!

I See The Light ~

I see the Light,
I see it glowing . . .
I see the shadows
on sin it’s throwing.
It shines the Truth
upon the Way
it radiates Hope
of a more joyful day.
It reflects Love,
strength and power
its radiance makes
the darkness scour.
It glistens with grace,
it illuminates life
it opens the eye
to everlasting strife.
I see the Light,
I see it glowing . . .
and I know from Jesus
is where it is flowing!
~~~~~~~~
Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.
To open their eyes, and to turn them
from darkness to light, and from
the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness
of sins, and inheritance among
them which are sanctified by
faith that is in me.

Where Faith and Love Dwells ~

Sometimes I wander through,
the valleys of my soul . . .
lingering near the streams of life
when I felt well and whole.
I ponder the times Jesus filled in,
the empty and void space
where His love for me flowed
like a river full of endless grace.
As I stroll along the rugged clefts,
I can see the hard times too
as I roam all around them
His mercy for me shines through.
I come across the mountains,
that I had to hike up to . . .
some of them I never thought
the hard climb I could ever do.
But I remember seeing Jesus,
standing upon the crest
calling down to me
“Come, I’ll give you rest.”
Sometimes I like to wander,
through life’s hills and dells
and go deep into my soul . . .
where faith and love dwells!
~~~~~
That Christ may dwell
in your hearts by faith;
that ye, being rooted
and grounded in love,

If Today You Would Hear ~

Today if you would hear,
if your ears you’d open
you will hear the truth
be told and spoken.
For God will speak,
right to your heart
closing the chasm
keeping you apart.
Today if you would listen,
you’d will be able to hear
Jesus calling you
to come close and near.
For He wants you to know,
for your sin’s He died
how He is waiting for you
with arms stretched out wide.
Today if you would hear,
what God has to say . . .
you will discover the Truth
to the new Life and Way!
~~~~~~~~
Then spake Jesus again
unto them, saying, I am
the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness, but

God’s Gift of Light ~

God’s gift of Light,
hopes everlasting ray
shines the Truth . . .
upon our path, the Way.
It pierces the dark,
with its saving glow
illuminates where
Life giving waters flow.
God’s gift of Light,
cannot be concealed . . .
for once it enlightens
all sins are revealed.
It’s drawing effects,
brings about clarity
the judgment to come
and its severity.
God’s gift of Light,
shines bright and true
only it can . . .
the darkness subdue!
~~~~~~~~~~
Then spake Jesus again
unto them, saying,
I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall
not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
And the light shineth
in darkness; and the
darkness comprehended
it not.

Jesus Is The Only One ~
Jesus Your light is,
the only One that can
break through the stone
in the heart of man.
For it can shatter,
the cold and icy frost
and bring the ungodly
to the foot of the cross.
Jesus Your light bursts,
the darkness right apart
taking down the barriers
inside of man’s heart.
For it can obliterate,
the evil and corruption
saving the heart of man
from eternal destruction.
Jesus You alone are . . .
the only One who can
breach the darkness
of the heart of man!

Oh, What A Sight ~
Oh, what a vision,
oh, what a sight
to have seen
that star’s light.
Perched in the sky,
shining above
spotlighting the gift
of God’s perfect love.
Oh, what a vision,
oh, what a glimpse
to have seen
salvation’s eclipse.
A world full of darkness,
finally sees the Light
oh, what utter joy . . .
to have seen the delight.
Oh, what a vision,
oh, what a sight
to have witnessed
that star in flight!
~~~~~~
“When they saw the star,
they rejoiced
with exceeding great joy.”
“Then spake Jesus again unto them,
saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk
in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.

A Light For Jesus ~
Jesus let me be,
a light for You
help me to expose
the evil people do.
Let me be a voice,
to those who are lost
help me to bring them
to the foot of the cross.
Jesus let me be,
a light of Your grace
help me to help those
still running in the race.
Let me be an example,
of hope, love and peace
help me to help them
the finish line to reach.
Jesus let me be,
a light just for You
help me to debunk . . .
today’s opposing view!

The Light of My Life ~
Today I am singing,
though outside it is gray
I can still see the Light . . .
though the sun’s tucked away.
For the Light that shines in me,
makes my heart radiate
though there maybe clouds
my joy they can’t alienate.
Jesus is that Light,
the song of my salvation
and I don’t need the sun
to sing out my elation.
For the Light of Jesus,
lights up both night and day
nothing stops it from shinning
on the Truth, Life and Way.
Today I am singing,
though outside it is dreary
the Light of my life. . .
is all I need to be cheery!

My Morning Light ~
My morning Light,
the darkness breaks
stirs my soul
till it awakes.
It motivates me,
to rise and shine
prompts me to seek
for the day God’s design.
It stirs my heart,
to look above
spurs me to be clothed
in His righteous love.
It entices me,
right to my feet
beckons me to come
and with my Savior meet.
My morning light,
upon its early rise
awakens me to keep
on God, these earthly eyes!

Walk in The Light ~
Walk in the light,
you will not be mislead
for it’ll expose to you
temptation up ahead.
Take the light with you,
wherever you may go
it’ll illuminate your path
the moral way it’ll show.
Let the light guide you,
on the road to perfection
it will reveal to you
God’s righteous discretion.
Allow the light to shine,
it will expose the way
to truth and holiness
on the darkest of days.
Walk in the light,
look at its true reflection
for it will lead you
in a heavenly direction!
