The Candle Under the Bushel

No man would do as such being no sense to be made of this For we must never lose touch or it'll be the point you'll miss Be the Light of All His Glory or even in the simplest of light In so many not knowing His Story not being any inner plight A candle was meant to shine it is so simple there's no trick To the darkness there is no line in so afflicting all the sick His light being meant to expose as to yourself you reveal And as your inside grows it changes the way that you feel Simply placed on a candlestick the whole family can see It all being so simplistic and yet so many just don't agree In being meant to only give light all other uses are futile As in the truth that I recite, with so many sitting in denial You can't complain about a candle nor the Light it gives Needing only to get a handle on how one presently lives Doing so one must be able to see guided by God's Light So don't even worry about me, it's you whose in this fight Matthew 5:15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
