Great Light of the World

Sometimes at night
I am afraid
I cover my eyes,
Cover my shame
So here in the dark
Broken apart
Come with your light
And fill up my heart

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The wind of this world
Can push us around
Folding us up
Backing us down
But here in the dark
I’m not alone
So come with your strength
And carry me home

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace

Oh great light of the world
Fill up my soul
I’m half a man here
So come make me whole
Oh great light of the world
Come to impart
The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

The light of your grace
To fill up my heart

GREAT LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Looking for myself

Image
It's been a while since I posted anything, but I have been wandering around trying to fine myself. I usually see myself on a regular basis but the challenge is I am either heading out the door or have some other pressing issue that I am attending to at the time. So hopefully I'll get an opportunity to sit down with myself and catch-up on life and see how I am doing. Once that's done I'm sure something will dribble out on this semi-blank white page. Till then...

Santa is looking for me...

It's been an age since I have written anything here. Maybe it's because I've been too busy. Maybe it's because I've not had anything to write. Maybe it's because I haven't had the mind set to listen and have a profound thought. Whatever it is, I had a thought today. I was watching a post of my granddaughter this morning on FaceBook. I edited and posted the video myself, so it wasn't new to me. But it struck me profoundly. There's my two and a half year old granddaughter playing in our living room pretending to have a conversation over an old non-working telephone with Santa. She is so excited. "Oh, hi Santa. He's looking for me! He's looking for me!" Faith like that of a little child. We all need that. Here's this little girl talking to Santa, and He is looking for her. We have someone who is looking for us too. "Oh! Ephraim is my dear, dear son, my child in whom I take pleasure! Every time I mention his name, my he...

Catching Up

It's been a awhile since I posted a blog. I not surprised. For me writing is something I have learned to do, I learned that all that it is, is telling the story you would normally tell with your mouth, but you use your fingers. My issues is somewhere between the mouth and the fingers at times the story gets lost. Anyway, just a couple quick thoughts. First off there is a thought about polarization. Not sure exactly what the thought is, but it has something to do with the fact that polarization is the extreme. Extremes are usually always intense. Everything seems polarized today, politics, views of how people should live there life, etc... Intensity is another thought, there is way too much intensity in my life. I need a lot less intensity in my life. I know it is for a season, so that is OK. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It is way off, and I am just hoping it is a light at the end of the tunnel rather then the light of the locomotive. I know there is a pile o...
