Thy Light

• By G. Rallings

God, Who is light (1 John 1:8),

the father of lights (james 3:17),

is the Creator of light (Genesis 1:3).

Decked with garments of light (Psalms 104:2),

He dwells in light (1 Timothy 6:16),

unapproachable by man (1 Timothy 6:16).

He is a consuming fire (Deuteronomy 4:24),

devouring valueless dross (1 Corinthians 3:13),

but makes His servants flames of fire (Psalms 104:4).

He calls His children of light (1 Peter 2:9),

into the glory of His presence (Matthew 8:12).

With Him is the fountain of life (Psalms 36:9),

in His light we see light (Psalms 36:9),

walking as children of the Light (Ephesians 5:8).

Called to God’s city of light (Revelation 21:23),

we are clad in the armor of light (Romans 3:12; Isaac 42:16),

led by the Spirit of light (Luke 1:79; Exodus 13:21).

Eternal Spirit, grant us grace to walk in Thy light.
