Shine Your Light (Poem)

Shine Your Light

Shine Your light into my soul, dear Lord;

Like Moses, I long to see Your glory.

Shine the Truth into the hearts of men,

Enlighten them to the Gospel story.

Illumine my spirit through Your Word,

Open my clouded eyes that I may see -

Then shine brightly through my life to others -

May they catch fiery glimpses of You in me.

Change my heart by Your radiant glory:

Dispel the shadows that are a part of me;

Transform my soul through Your Holy Spirit;

Remove the dross of my sin - make me free.

Shine Your light into my life, Lord Jesus.

Like a glowing jewel, burn intensely through me.

Let the world only see Your glory alone -

Let them see You shining brightly, not me.

Shine brightly, dear Lord Jesus, through me.

Exodus 33:18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

Psalms 119:18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Psalms 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Matthew 5:14-16 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

2 Corinthians 4:6  For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
