Let Your Light Shine
by Barbara Philbrook

There's darkness everywhere blocking man's sight,
but I have provided each lamb with a revealing light.

I've provided each with a light to shine in the dark,
some may have a bonfire and others a spark.

For those who are lost in the dark of night,
there are others who have a beckoning life saving light.

A light that will draw in a faltering lost soul,
illuminating the way so they can reach the goal.

You were all in the dark at one time in your life,
perhaps feeling overcome with trials or strife.

Then you saw a glimmer a little ray of light,
revealing that there was hope for you in your plight.

The little glimmer grew the light showed you the way,
you took that opportunity to kneel and pray

Now the torch has been passed on it's your time to run,
you may save a multitude you may save one.

The radiance and usefulness are not your responsibility,
those are decisions that are to be left up Me.

There's a light beyond every each and every test,
and yours may be the light to save all the rest.

I will use you to help others during Earth's final days,
your little light will emit brilliant rays.

I provide the light you reveal it for the world to see,
and soon we'll all be together for Eternity.
