My Light

When I bring You into the picture Lord
You turn the light on...
Because You are the Light!!

You turn on the Light
So I can see the face of the One who throws those accusations at me
The face of the one uttering negativity, and grumbling,
And you let me see their pain, their fear, their wounds...

You turn the Light on so I can know the truth...
About what my body feels, what my body hears, what my body sees...

You are the Light
And You turn the Light on...

So I can see the frustration, the chains...
Of that driver who was so rude to me.

You turn the Light on so I can
Bless and not curse
Give thanks and not murmur
Rejoice instead of complain
Laugh instead of cry
Extend a helping hand instead of a harsh word...

You are my Light and my Salvation
Your Light saves me from
The enemy of worry
The enemy of fear
The enemy of offense
The enemy of bitterness, resentment, despair...

Your Light saves me from the accuser, the false prophet, the liar, the deceiver...

The Light of Jesus lets the sunshine in
And allows me to see the goodness of the Lord in my land...

Thank you Lord for being my Light
And turning the Light on so I can see!
