It Simply Takes a Spark...

 You are the light of the world.

 A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  

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.  

 In the same way, let your light shine before others,

 that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

 Matt 5:14-16

Oh, isn’t it amazing

It simply takes a spark

A tiny candle blazing

To pierce the dark

And eyes turn to its Beacon

However small or large

A lighthouse on life’s ocean

For mortal barge

 Ah, pure and perfect halo

Sweet hope-anointed ray

Like a light in the window

To show the way

Then let Love be within us

A pure and gentle flame  

To shine the light of Jesus

And praise His name

 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 

 He was with God in the beginning.  

 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  

 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.  

 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

John 1:1-5
