A LIGHT THAT SHINES

Let me be like a Light that shines
Through the darkness
Allowing others to see the beam
And be drawn, stumbling
From the deepest shadows
Where feelings of hopelessness
Rejection and aloneness
Have held them bound and chained
To the old ways!


They no longer wish to hide,
Desiring to break free
And embrace with freedom this
NEW LIFE,
For them so long denied!

Help me to reach out to them
Extending my hand of friendship
To pray they grow in confidence
Learning to TRUST again
to let go of anger, rejection and
past hurts and to follow a new pathway
Towards a future filled with hope
Peace and harmony.

Share with them knowledge
From God’s Word and an awareness
Of his constant presence at all times
during this new journey and
when they stumble and fall.

Remind them he is with them
to comfort and guide
and listen to them
as they talk with him in prayer
Learning of the everlasting life offered free
From a forgiving heavenly father
A GOD OF LOVE!
