Light of My Life
The splendor of following Jesus
Isn’t that you get everything your way
Because you don’t – somedays are sad
Not every moment is filled with joy
There are times of discouragement,
Anxiety and worry, feelings that wash
Over you with yearnings to just quit
Let go of the hope living within and
Just live in the world, live on in sin
But there are days of pure inspiration
When God reveals His perfect exaltation
And you know that you’ve come so far
You can’t go back to that past sin or sorrow
There are reasons you must reach out
And grab onto the hem of His garment
Spread your wings and fly where He tells you
Into a life without selfish greed or jealousy
A life filled with sweet feelings of fulfillment
Feelings that He brings you to with His love
A gift sent down from above to make you see
Love this real, this wise and true and accepting
Is a love that will bring you through whatever comes
Following Jesus might not bring you a perfect life
But it will bring you perfect moments when you
Will praise Him to the utmost for giving you the chance
To say “I love you” to the creator of it all, the lamb
The prince of peace and lord of lords, the master
My reason for living and giving of whatever I have
The love that flows through me from Him, Jesus
Is a love that knows no ends or grief or discouragement
It is a love that only the Christian can know and hold
Giving it out to others in hopes that they may discover
The way, the truth, the life, this Jesus who lights up my life
