You shined your light into my thoughts
Illuminating hope and faith
Showing me the joy found in grace
Revealing the love abiding
With praise that comes from the heart
And prayers that free the soul
With kindness that lets me know
You are alive within my soul
You lit up the shadows of my heart
With healing, revealing the worst
Clearing away the debris of doubt
And cleaning me in a way
That made me feel I should shout
With the wonder that came
When you emptied my spirit
Of all the darkness and damage
You flashed a brilliance into my depths
Revealing the need there
The anxiety and regret, the neglect
That had left me with a dreary
Lifeless sadness, gloomy emptiness
In need of your gentle compassion
The breath of your mercy
Reassuring and clarifying my yearnings
You washed my passions in hues
Of vibrant appreciation
Thanks for the many ways
You taught me to give my very best
With no thought for the gift
Only thinking of the glory that comes
From giving without expectation
Living without gratification
Loving without anticipation
For any true gift is meaningless
Without the promise
That the gift is as gracious
As a psalm for the one
Who is in need and should heed
God’s plea for redemption
That comes from His free gift
You, sweet Jesus, are the way to see
Faith become a living, breathing
Belief that plants an everlasting seed
Into those souls who agree
God’s word is the truth that assures
Love from above pours down
Into the hearts and souls who desire
To follow Him throughout all time
