drawing others to that light/ bring the light to others



The light of Christ shining
our calling in this life
drawing others to that light
the source of eternal life

lighting our candles with that light
sharing the light with others
not losing in sharing the light
our love with our neighbor

a fire within us, God’s light
rising from the crèche
from the love of Christ
to fill the world with love

bring the light to them
the fire in our hearts
share God’s love with grace
until we see God’s face

I like the creche.
There's too much stuff on this page! I can hardly find the verse.
