Your Light So Shines

JOY BENNETT

I Wish that I could write my thought of you
In lovely music ringing pure and true;
Or that my vision, faithfully expressed
In words and phrases beautifully dressed,
Might paint a picture so that all could see
And share the lovely thoughts that come to me,
Of one whose light shines out so valiantly,
In spite of threatening clouds of storm and stress,
That those whose way seems dark may pause and see
Reflected love, that seeks to heal and bless;
Of one whose open hand and heart would give
Unstintingly and eagerly their all;
Receiving gratefully, striving to live
Humble, alert, obedient to God's call.
