Have YOU seen the Light?

John 8:12: "The spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 'I am the light of the world..."

As an addendum to yesterday's post about being a small candle or a flaming torch...I would like to share one of my old favorite hymns, followed by a new song by Brandon Heath about the "Light", and finally a special song from our childhood...so be sure to read all the way to the end:   Thank you for singing along with me!

"The Light of the World"

Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876

"The whole world was lost in the darkness of sin;

The Light of the world is Jesus;

Like sunshine at noon-day His glory shone in,

The Light of the world is Jesus.

(Chorus)

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee;

Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;

Once I was blind, but now I can see;

The Light of the world is Jesus.

No darkness have we who in Jesus abide,

The Light of the world is Jesus;

We walk in the light when we follow our guide,

The Light of the world is Jesus.

(Chorus)

Ye dwellers in darkness with sin-blinded eyes,

The Light of the world is Jesus;

Go, wash at His bidding, and light will arise,

The Light of the world is Jesus.

(Chorus)

No need of the sunlight in heaven, we're told,

The Light of the world is Jesus;

The Lamb is the Light in the city of gold,

The Light of the world is Jesus!

Chorus:

Come to the Light, 'tis shining for thee;

Sweetly the Light has dawned upon me;

Once I was blind, but now I can see;

The Light of the world is Jesus."

"You Put the Light in Me" by Brandon Heath   (Click on the link to the left)  Enjoy this latest video/song by Brandon Heath...a great song- story that better describes what I've been talking about the last couple of days in my blogs...

To complete this musical medley of songs about "The Light"...here is one of my favorites from my childhood.  Hold up your candle and sing along with me!

"This little light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine.

This little light of mine,

I'm gonna let it shine,

let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!

"Hide it under a bushel? NO!

I'm gonna let it shine!

Hide it under a bushel? NO!

I'm gonna let it shine!

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Won't let Satan put it out,

I'm gonna let it shine,

Won't let Satan put it out,

I'm gonna let it shine,

let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Let it shine 'til Jesus comes,

I'm gonna let it shine,

Let it shine 'til Jesus comes,

I'm gonna let it shine,

Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!!!!

Let your light shine!!!!
