"And He [Jesus] said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God.... No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light" (Luke 8:10,16).
We who have the truth today
That God's Word has revealed,
Should be like candles on display,
And not like those concealed.
For oh, the light is glorious!
It shines that all may know
The love that God has for us
Which He delights to show.
This very light exposes
Responsibility
That privilege imposes
To show this mystery.
Today the darkness dominates
And cloaks the wrong as right.
Yet God's Word still illuminates
And brings the truth to light.
In view of this, Lord, help me shine
That others thus may see,
Remembering this light of mine
Is not for only me.
