In God's Light
“we look for that light eternal that does not come and go
the screen upon which life plays cognised in staid stillness slow” -
the contest sponsor's quote.
People these days can seem
to always be on the go.
If our lives were televised,
what about us would folks know?
People might not be aware
of the light on God’s big screen,
but even deeds in darkness done
are by the angels seen.
If we could only slow things down
and think of things we’ve done,
we could in a moment be
knowing actions we must shun.
How we can improve ourselves
we ought to contemplate,
and darkness from the good Lord’s light
we then can separate.
In evil hearts, the light of God
will not there abide.
Let yourselves not into
the realm of darkness slide.
God’s light of love won’t vanish.
It is charity divine.
Dwell inside it knowing
evermore that it will shine.
