Light of Heaven

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.   Philippians 2:9-11

the time has begun,

today shall be the day,

now is the answer,

here in lies the way;

in the morning when I rise,

You are there,

softly speaking to my soul,

humbling my swollen ego,

making me understand

the glory and magnificence

that is Yours alone;

throughout the day,

as my tongue speaks foolish vanities,

and my mind thinks

self-absorbed, hate filled thoughts,

You softly remind me,

gently rebuking,

patiently teaching,

helping me to stand,

filling me with the Holy Spirit,

consuming me with Your wondrous fire,

surrounding me with Your marvelous love;

reach out with Your mighty hand,

cleanse my filthy garments,

heal my damaged soul,

remove anything not of You;

O magnificent Lord,

Light of heaven,

King of the universe,

Savior of the world,

let every voice

sing praises unto You,

let every breath taken

glorify Your precious name.
