even when we hide it

even when we hide it

when we seek to keep

God’s light hidden

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

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.”
