Let Your Light Shine
Matthew 5 v 16
"Let Your Light so shine before men that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
I said to my Saviour
"I want my friend to know
What a comfort You are to me
And that you love me so.
I want her to share
Your love so pure and free.
I want her to know
You died on Calvary."
My Saviour answered me
And this is what He said,
"You must always remember
To go beyond my death.
Tell her that I rose again
To conquer death and sin.
I travelled over pain and woe;
Through loneliness I've been."
I said to my Saviour,
"Where shall I begin?
It always seems whatever I say,
I let the devil in.
I know you have the answers.
You have shown me the truth.
But when I try to tell her
My words seem of no use."
Jesus had compassion.
He heard my humble plea,
He said, "Don't tell her anymore;
Just live your life through me.
If you give yourself completely,
I can work through you.
I can show my love and purity
In everything you do."
Now I live my life for Jesus.
I sink back in His arms,
And as the world watches
I seem to have new charms.
I feel His love working through me,
His joy, His peace, His hope.
The world can see Jesus
As they see just how I cope.
