Light of the World

God you are the light of the world.
Out of darkness you created light.
You created us in your image,
so it must be that your light is in us.

If you are light,
and we are light,
Why does it seem so dark?

Why can't we seem to find
our God give light
and let it shine.

Why can't we get beyond
our own selfish "me first"
to help the most in need
find their God given, internal light
and help it to shine.

When are we going to learn that it is
your light of love, unity and peace
that will change the world.

Help me to shine my light and
encourage the light of all other
to shine also.

AMEN.
