TO BE THE LIGHT
I went to be down on bent knee,
To bow my head and worship Thee.
To let You know of my great love,
For that which I thought was above.
When I reached the altar stair,
A voice rang out, “Oh! Do beware!”
In shock and fear, I stopped all thought.
I awaited, I knew not what.
A gentle warmth I felt touch me,
The Light that shines eternally.
A brilliant flash, and I did know,
Worship is not an outward show.
Look within to understand,
Reach out with a helping hand.
Live love, devotion true,
And you'll know God, inside of you!
Worship is this, when you forgive,
When you bestow your love, it's how you live!
Then suddenly the voice did say,
“You are My Light, born again this day!”
