Light Up Your Life

Matthew 5:14-16

You are the light and the salt of the earth,
Ever since you've gone through a rebirth;
Remember a city on a hill can not be hid,
You don't light a lamp to put under a lid;
Rather put it on a stand to light the house,
Giving light to all including your spouse;
Let your light shine bright for to reflect,
The goodness and mercy that you affect;
Honor and glorify your Father in Heaven,
Who'll reveal to you things that are hidden;
So many times we're forced into the dark,
Through a life's journey that we embark;
Darkness just looms while being all alone,
Treading into an area of totally unknown;
A friend in trouble needing some advice,
A time of despair wanting to be precise,
God will light your lamp during prayer,
With all of the troubles that you share;
Pouring our His grace and blessedness,
Light a candle instead of cursing darkness.
