LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU!

LET THE LIGHT SHINE ON YOU


Are you a person
Who tries to do God’s will
In the world today


Maybe not always getting it right
But you keep trying
To be a positive influence
On the world


Well stand up
Take a bow
Let the light
Shine on you


You---you
Are one of the few


“You are
The light of the world
A city on a hill cannot be hidden
Neither do people light a lamp
And put it under a bowl
Instead they put it on its stand
And it gives light
To everyone in the house
In the sane way
Let your light shine before men
That they may see your good deeds
And praise your Father in heaven” Matthew 5:14-16


You can’t be a beacon
If your light don’t shine


I don’t know about you
But I feel
Like we live in a world
That is getting a little bit meaner
Each and every day
Sometimes
I feel that this world can’t get any lower
But then it does


I have an idea
Let it stop
With me and with you


Do you know
That kindness
Is one of the fruits of the spirit


“But the fruit of the spirit
Is love, joy, peace, patience, KINDNESS
Goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control
Against such thing---there is no law” Galatians 5:22-24


If you are living in the spirit
Stand up and take a bowel
Let the light shine on you


Saint Vincent DePaul once said,
The surest way to become a Saint
“Is to be kind, be kind, be kind”


Saint Theresa---the Little Flower
Was kind
Many consider her to be
The Saint of the ordinary
The one whose vacation was love


You can’t be a beacon
If your light don’t shine


“For God who said
Let light shine out of your darkness
Made light shine in our hearts
To give us the light of the knowledge
Of the glory of God
In the face of Christ” 2 Corinthians 4:6


Do good---be light---let God’s light
LET THE LIGHT
Shine on you
