So Shine

Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,

and glorify your Father Which is in heaven.”

“Let your light so shine,

Glorifying your Father.”

This was Your command

To disciples at hand.

Well, I’ve taken the plunge

To shine publicly,

But I pray that I’ll always

Serve with purity.

Competition and pride

Would Your awesomeness hide,

So keep them far from me;

May I look only to Thee.

If I start to slip

Without even knowing,

I beg You to show me

Immediately.

Please touch other lives,

Both near and worldwide,

With the greatness of You

Through all that I do.

Your glory’s my goal,

Your love’s my sweet song,

That others may join

Redemption’s glad throng.

And I’ll bow the knee

Of my heart unto Thee,

As Your humble handmaid,

My life at Your cross laid.
