Jesus Is the Light
Lord, it is in your word that my soul finds peace.
When I take that little bit of time each day and search for you I see your face shining on me and I know it is well with my soul where I find solace.
When I close my eyes in prayer and the only thing I see is your face coming closer moving in the shadows of the night between the light and darkness, my heart sighs in a stance.
Seeing your eyes like a lighthouse in the hour of darkness my soul finds peace with all ease all knowing I reached the distance.
I wish I could boast that there was no resistance.
You held on to me with such persistance.
I fear to think what could have happened if you had not taken me in your arms when you did.
I would be dead.
I would have drowned in the deep sea of sin.
I cried out to you and you forgave me of all of my sin.
You died on the cross sacrificing your life so I could live not bound to sin.
And still today
My soul cries out to you, and you heal the brokenhearted turning my mourning into songs.
You fill my heart with longing knowing that I belong to you.
My name written in the book of life.
I look at all you have done and I am humbled though I have stumbled through life making mistake after mistake.
You always loved me unconditionally while others turned against me.
You saw the potential in me.
You are a father to the fatherless.
You are a physician to the ill.
You are the accountant to the poor.
My prayer is to live my life in your will and to help the little children of the world
that they should never go to bed hungry or in fear, that my own life would be
a testimony to the weak that the Lord lifts up the humble and places them upon a rock
preparing their footsteps for life.
I will teach the children to trust in the word of God that the word is sweet honey to the
soul healing all that it touches.
When the world is afraid with banks failing out of financial lust it will be in your word where I find my trust.
It will be in the book of Proverbs that I find resolution for the world’s solution and find relief from financial pollution. There will be no dissolution in my trust of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I will find my strength in the Lord from now and through eternity!
