Thy Light Oh, Father, up in heaven, We have wandered far away From Jesus Christ, Our Savior, Who arose on Easter Day... And the promise of salvation That God gave us when Christ died We have often vaguely questioned, Even doubted and denied... We've forgotten why You sent us Jesus Christ Your Only Son, And in arrogance and ignorance - It's Our Will, not Thine, Be Done... Oh, shed Thy Light upon us As Easter dawns this year, And may we feel the Presence Of the Risen Savior near... And, God, in Thy great wisdom, Lead us in the way that's right, And may the darkness of this world Be conquered by "Thy Light." Helen Steiner Rice BACK
