the light is not our own


like the light of the moon
projected into the darkness
is the light of the sun
the moon merely reflects it

the light that we shine
that we carry, that we offer
is the light of Jesus
our Lord and our Master

the light is not our own
we merely reflect it
shining in the darkness
to a world that is hurting
