Single Sighted

"No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light.... If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doeth give thee light" (Luke 11:33-36).

Lord, give me a clear, single eye,
That's focused on all of Your beauty:
On love that compelled You to die
That scorns the mere motive of duty.

Then fill my whole body with light,
And let me thus shine like a star,
As a candle that burns in the night,
Reflecting how awesome You are.
