"Longing"

“When you are in deep darkness, even the smallest light seems bright.”
I look for light
I’m sure it’s there
Soft strands in people
In lives being lived
In brief moments
A crack of Light breaks through
And is magnified
Through people’s love
And kindness
Hope holds firm
In melodies
And words of songs
Christ is present in loving concern
In offerings of heart and self
In a hug
Christ is in the Light
Christ IS the Light
Find it, see it
Capture it, keep it
O Gentle Light
Guide my eyes to see
Help me find strength
In just a sliver
Shine in me, Christ Child
Through me, around me
Over me
Surround me, envelop me
Hold me, rest in me
Oh Desire of the Nations
Love me.
 
“God is Light; in Him there is no darkness.”
