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
this is our calling
our purpose in this life

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.”
