Let Your Light Shine Now

Let your light shine*; seek God’s presence of love’s insistence Though weary, weak, faltering when pressures are intense… While laboring with utmost grace-persistence Depend on His empowering omnipotence! Let your light shine; stay in the Saviour’s faithfulness To combat guilt, lurking with adversaries’ haughtiness… While confessing to Him sincerely sinfulness and wickedness Delight in His granted loving forgiveness! Let your light shine; trust in the Lord’s deliverance Against idleness, skepticism, and ignorance… While doing your best toward progress-endurance Desire His approval by your faith’s appearance! Let your light shine; proclaim Christ’s Gospel story Facing courageously anxiety’s misery and hardship’s worry… While claiming steadfastly His assured victory Dedicate yourself to work for His glory! *Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
