The Light Shines in Jars of Clay
When God commanded the light to shine
out of earth’s darkness, the light obeyed.
Then He sent the Light, His Son, divine
to earth - God’s glory thru the Christ conveyed.
This Light of the World has ascended
back to His Father from whom He came.
But His Spirit He has extended
enlightening all who trust in His name.
We house treasured spirit deep within
bodies easily broken and cheap.
In jars of clay we show mortal men
it’s God alone who has power to keep.
