Tune: Buckland
('Loving Shepherd of the sheep')
John 8 v.12; Proverbs 4 v.18
*********
Jesus said, I am the light
Of the world, I to your sight
Here clear revealed, and they who
Follow me have the light true
They shall not walk in darkness
But shall have, shall sure confess
They that have the light of life
E'en through whate'er troubles, strife
They shall see the way ahead
Promise of life from the dead
Way of righteous, it shines more
Until perfect day whole, pure
Lead us, Lord, to follow on
In the footsteps of your Son
Here firm ground, we shall not slip
Serving you in deed and lip* (*words)

Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
you can beat an egg and a drum but you just can't beat a bit of light leading just before retiring, now can ya 🙂
Thanks N. You beaten that egg or drum yet - or both?!
HIS was a way of non-violence, a way to make us seek out our inner light.
As always your poems are loving tribute to HIM.
Thanks Suresh.
Without out light we often times do not see the truth. Good write my friend.
Thanks Bella. Arrgggh, crash! Who turned that light off? Notice the impression of me falling down the stairs?! heehee (Do shut up Orchi. lol).
I just hope nothing was broken!
It's fictitious (phew) - like my dog Fido is! lol.
