The Single Eye of Light

The body is a blur
if it has no light
but can only come by the eye
the lightless body an awful sight

Light comes in by the eye
it's the lamp that's shining
eliminating the whole body
like Jesus our king

Keep your eye in good health
so then the rest will be the same
then all of you will be light
killing the darkness in it's shame

An eye full of darkness
nothing is so dark
so remedy it with light
as the herald angels sing hark
