The Son's Light
He sees my tears
Brushes them away
With a gentleness
Beyond kind and mild
He knows my feelings
When my heart is breaking
Soothes my anguish
When I simply can’t take it
He understands my fears
The darkness that haunts
With shadows of despair
And He fills me with hope
He recognizes my doubt
The clouds so very black
Fills me with assurance
That I will find solace
He appreciates my longing
For the mercy He gives
When I can’t feel joy
He rains down His promises
He realizes I’m a sinner
Forgives me when I repent
Shares His endless love
Even though I’m so desperate
He understands my desire
To know His light, a raging fire
Of inspiration, glowing insight
The revelation that is alive
He distinguishes the difference
In my needs and wants, gives
Me the ones that I surely deserve
With assurance of His pure love
He discerns the dreams I have
Challenges me to listen to His spirit
When I pray for His will to be done
And He silences my lingering worry
He grasps my faith that is a gift
From His own hand, His whisper
Of a love that shines bright, radiating
More beautiful than sunshine…
Shining on my soul with the Son’s Light!
