Lord, let me be a light
to chase away shadows of fear and doubt,
A lighthouse beacon, steady and strong,
to light storm-tossed waters of grief,
A candle in the window to welcome the lost,
or flicker with joy and laughter
to brighten sadness and despair.
But most, Lord, let me be a heart-glow of love
and offer a shoulder to cry on, arms to enfold.
Let me be a light, Lord,
to shine forth the rainbow promise of your love.
