The Lamp of the Body -Matthew 6: 22,23
Looking through both of your eyes
being able to see everything around you
all the colours and beauty of nature
shows that creation is absolutely true
Your eyes are your lamp of your body
important that it's healthy full and free
so making your whole body completely light
looking ahead forever to eternally see
But when your eyes are so fully dark
there's only one conclusion that you can make
it is diseased so much indeed it's bad
what can be done except to throw in the lake
Can one see how great is the darkness?
when one thinks of pitch darkness so black
stretch out your hands to touch what's ahead
for your eyes can't see the right track
So make sure you're full of God's light
for your whole body is importantly clear
receiving scriptures pure and holy
follow such gospel light so very dear
(“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!)
Matthew 6: 22,23 (ESV)
