Even when we hide the light
when we seek to keep
God’s light hidden
when we are timid in our faith
The clay of our bodies
the reeds of our basket
the bushel of our bodies
cannot contain the light
The scripture is itself a message
the language of a basket
the clay of our bodies
cannot hide God’s light
But we must proclaim God’s love
we must speak it out loud
ours are the hands and feet
the voice of God now

Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel,
but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that
are in the house.”
