Matt.5:16
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Don't you love
the light of love
in loved one's eyes?
Esp. children!!
don't you love the way they shine
with love without disguise?
and don't you hope and pray that we,
God's precious girl and boy
look at our Daddy lovingly
then shine and shine with joy?!!
Love does not scorn its charge
Nor loathe its perfect law
But lets the grace of God enlarge
Faith’s diligence with awe
Love, the Light of the world
Has pierced sin’s darkness through
It is God’s evidence unfurled
To shine in me and you
…to glorify the Name
Of He who came to save
And live God’s goodness to proclaim
For the gift His love gave
It is impossible
To confess ‘Christ in me’
Without love’s candle visible
For all the world to see
Then pray the Lord to keep
Our love from growing dim
Lest unawares, we fall asleep
And cease to shine for Him
Lord, let our light so shine
So that all men may see
The evidence of love divine
Bringing glory to Thee
Oh, what a lovely Light
The love of God instills
Where until faith is turned to sight
His glory spills and spills

This is one of the songs the choir hoped to sing at our church on Christmas Eve.
Though we were disappointed to cancel the service
NOTHING can cancel the true believer's joy and or the Light of the World!
Sing Hallelujah!!
