Lord,
You tell me that I am the light of the world,
Yet, why do I feel so dim - so helpless?
Do I forget that your light is bright
Within me?
You tell me to shine before men,
Yet many times I hide this light.
My own selfish feelings and needs
I show.
Make me a transparent vessel,
Unclog and free my soul,
To shine with the light of truth and love,
Reflecting you.
