Light a Light

Light a light Light a light that shines within me Deep within my soul Kindle a fire, burn inside me Cleanse and make me whole May I shine and beam a light of Your unceasing love Poured within this heart of mine by ~ My Father in Heav’n above Purge my soul of wayward sin Lord Purify the dross So that I may come before you Kneeling at the cross Take me out into the world to Radiate God’s light That men may be drawn towards my Flick’ring in the night When my earthly witness ends Lord Let my soul take wings Fly to my eternal home where Light unending reigns Anne Linington© This poem is suitable for Advent and Candlemass, and the Hospice "Lights of love" service before Christmas.
