Light


There is […] one God and Father,
who is over all and in all and living through all
(Ephesians 4:5-6; NLT).

1. Light dawns in my mind:
A shimmering of tender green,
Like buds in early spring.

2. Truth grows in my heart:
A flowering of fragile rose,
Whose fragrance makes me sing.

3. Peace purls in my soul:
A rippling out of lapis blue,
Like summer sun on sea.

4. Love burns in my blood:
A cleansing, all-consuming fire,
That sets my spirit free.
