If We But Call

Here, in this world darkened understanding

Laughs at the Light because they cannot see

But this is no laughing matter because

Soon soul-dust will don Immortality

Here in this world we are called to walk holy

Worthy of the Calling that we have received

When The Light of God’s love gave understanding

And praise Him, not seeing, yet we believed

Here is this world, darkness seems the Greater

But the True Light gives light to one and all

If we but ask, Lord, Father, Creator

Pierces the darkness with Light if we call
