Light To All People

So gentle so quiet
His voice spoke to me,
My daughter my child, 
A light you shall be,
From birth, 
To your youth,
Then through your pain,
You cried out to me 
From sorrow again,
From the darkness, you felt,
The pains you were in,
Life with no hope 
A solitude of sin,
My spirit will live, 
My spirit will shine,
My spirit will give 
Life so divine,
But the life that I give 
And the light that I shine,
I’m sending to you, 
For the people of mine,
To reflect from above 
My spirit of love,
So shine pretty girl, 
Eyes of blue,
Darkness of skin, 
Hair shining through,
Reflecting his love,
And the glory he knew,
That comes from the father,
And glowing, through you,
Now go to my people,
Awake from sleep,
Show them the way,
Of spirit so deep,
Bring to the father, 
Where his mercy will meet,
From the glory I give, 
To know me by name,
For forgiveness of sin, 
Without any shame,
So come to my light, 
All who are mine
My spirit will live, 
My spirit will shine,
Throughout all generation 
Until end of time,
My daughter, my people, 
All children of mine.
