For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord you are light.
Live as children of light—
Ephesians 5:8
Live as children of light.
Once I was blind but now I see.
I see you Lord and I believe.
I used to live, alone and afraid, in the darkness of my sin.
But you never left me, you held my hand, you watched over me.
You stayed when I closed my eyes in fear, lust, and even selfishness.
You bring the light into my shadow existence and brought me home.
Home where you shine eternally.
Where we dance together in the cascading beams of your love.
Home where darkness never comes.
Where we play, laugh and gaze lovingly within your radiance.
Shine on, Lord Jesus.
Your glorious glow lights my way
Illuminate my heart so I can live as a child of the Light.

We ARE light first, Jean!
We ARE souls first.
This from your column:
But you never left me, you held my hand, you watched over me.
reminds me of one of favorite spiritual Poems:
Footprints in the Sand.
Jean Wise says
Love that poem, Chris. What a great connection. We do have the light inside each of us and around us. I agree we are souls first. That part lives forever!
