Self-Existent Light
Source of luminescence, perfectly bright
God Himself is the self-existent light
Radiating to us always, day and night
To reflect His image with great delight…
Having such light midst compassionate sight
We can show blest goodness and kindness-might
Defying obscurity of hate’s fright
Illumining us to choose what is right…
Lord, help me to shine with grace, that’s my plight
As I abide in You toward faith-height
Hide me in Your shadow when pride takes flight
Enable my light* to fight deceit's blight.
*Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
