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

This light is most definitely real for we know by that Spirit that raised up Jesus has raised up a new creation within those who seek.
