GIVE ME YOUR LIGHT, LORD ~~~~~ Dear Heavenly Father reigning up above, Show the light to this one You love. Teach me to pass it to all that I meet, Whether family, friends or strangers on the street. ~~~ Show me mercy, show me grace. Show me Your love that puts a smile on my face. Give me comfort, give me Your care, That I may know You'll always be there. ~~~ Teach me to share You with all that I meet. Teach me to really think - before I speak. Fill me with Your spirit - may it shine from within, So where ere I go, Your light would extend. ~~~ Allow me to comfort, allow me to care. Allow all to see You shining in there. Grant me the knowledge to know what to do, To behave in a way always pleasing to You. ~~~ Just stay my tongue when I shouldn't speak. Teach me when to be silent, when to be meek. By the same token, when I need to be bold, Give me the words You desire to be told. ~~~ Use me dear Lord, in all that I do, That through my actions - the world will see You. Use this willing servant for all of my days, To help other people learn to live in your ways. ~~~ So give me Your light, let it shine from within. That's the best place I know for love to begin. Make me an example for the whole world to see, The wonders that come from living for Thee! ~~~ The Author Patricia L. Ford, resides now with Jesus. What a great talent we will surely miss. ~Jene's Pages~
