A Light to Reveal Your Will

In Christ such treasure
in the clay of His body
in the humanness of God
in coming to the earth

A light to reveal Your will
the teaching of all scripture
a way for all to come to You
to heal our brokenness

Only in the lamb
the living eternal Savior
the Word alive
descending to the earth

Sharing the light of God
in the face of Jesus
offering a real-world example
of following Your will

All of the law and prophets
fulfilled in one person
in the babe in the manger
and the man on the cross

We are to be now
that light in this darkness
sharing the message of Jesus
to the ends of the earth

Faithful disciples
holding such treasure
in the clay vessels of our lives
love to be poured out
