Love came down as Jesus - the Light of the World

“To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.” – Luke 1:79

“We walk by faith, not by sight.” – II Corinthians 5:7


Jesus is the Light of the World
sent down
to Earth
from above
by His Father.

Jesus -- a babe born
into a world filled with darkness of soul and mind,
endless pain and destruction
yet surrounded by the Light of God’s Everlasting Love

Jesus is the Light of the World
We, receivers of His Light
who once sat in darkness
to share with others,
who remain in darkness,
the Good News of His Coming
and the Gift He Brings.

Woe to you,
You who the darkness constrains
You who do not see the Light
You who fail to heed the Light
You who turn from the Goodness of God
and the faith once carried
to a place of wrongdoing and evil.

Jesus is the Light of the World
He shines into the hearts
of men and women and children
everywhere
He guides our feet
our hands
our words
our every action
into the way of peace, and love, and joy and hope

Abundant blessings flow
when we are one with The One
who is greater, greater still,
Greatest of all, over all.
