EMBODYING THE LIGHT
EMBODYING THE LIGHT
The light that is now within
Was once without, I recall
It entered and dispelled sin
Just as if it had forgiven all
Yet perhaps it was a dream
Such as is the stuff of myth
Yet welcome it would seem
And I shall tell all forthwith
I know it was for others too
With those stories often told
The key effect was to renew
Faith at least like liquid gold
Light that now shines in me
Is an inspiration I can share
Almost with a new identity
Show humility and prepare
Even if this were never real
Nothing ever contemplated
Something special I can feel
Now I am quite illuminated
