Let Your Light Shine - Spiritual Poem

This is a poem that I wrote for an event in 2017.

Let Your light Shine

The Lord loves us all

Don't be easily swayed

Let the world know we praise him

"...because we are fearfully and wonderfully made." - Psalm 139:14

Though we praise him differently

Continue to lift your hands

For it says in the bible

"Make a joyful noise, all ye lands." - Psalms 100:1

Don't withhold your praise

Because of who is near

We have the power to speak

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear." - 2 Timothy 1:7

We have a chance at life

Thanks to the Holy One

"For God so loved the world

that he gave his only begotten son." - St. John 3:16

Jesus died on the cross

To save us from our sin

Now we must tell others

For we are "fishers of men." - Matthew 4:19

Treat others with care

Since we know the one above

Otherwise would we truly know him

Because "God is love." - 1 John 4:8

Spread the good news

As we are spirit lead

We must follow his command

for "faith without works is dead." - James 2:26

We are well equipped and boldly sent

By the most divine

So as our lord told us

"Let your light shine..." - Matthew 5:16
