Light

There's a war going on
A war of the mind
but you'll never see
If you're looking behind
You feel at peace
Cause you have grown blind
And though you don't seek
A war you will find
So open your eyes
The eyes within you
Try not to cry
As you take in the view
I tell you no lies
Its graphic but true
There's death all around
Blood in the streets
We've all been made fools
By this wicked deceit
This war we can win
But we walk in defeat
Thinking if we ignore
The opposition will flee
No concern for our brothers
Only ourselves
Packed up our salvation
Placed it on the shelves
Thinking its ok
If we hide it away
But let your light burn
Don't waste today
Look to the Lord
For the answers you seek
Don't turn your head
We're all called to speak
Not just with our words
Not just when we pray
Not just when its comfortable
Not just when it pays
There's a war going on
Its not time to just play
Let your light shine
Don't hide it away
Don't let them pass by
With nothing to say
Let your light shine
Don't waste today
Don't waste today

Amen - we don't hide our candle under a basket... but we put it on the stand so others can see by it.

To do something else just wastes the candle...

Good stuff Mauk
