A candle in the dark stands out from far away One would not notice it in the middle of the day The absence of God’s light brings deep darkness to mankind Suppressing truth and goodness will cause them to be blind Christ’s light stands out so clear in the middle of great sin If we choose to live by truth, God’s glory shines within When we walk in love and mercy, darkness is dispelled In the brightness of this light, God’s love is then beheld If we choose to walk in love, many nations will be drawn God’s glory will arise at the brightness of our dawn Let your light so shine that they see God’s grace in you A new era rising as God’s kingdom comes in view Debbie Furey December 10, 2022 Romans 1:21 – “For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.” 1 John 2:11 – “But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.” Isaiah 60:1-3 – “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. 3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.” Matthew 5:14-16 – “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Romans 1:18-32 1 John 1:5-10 Isaiah 60
