Burn brightly

The sun shines in the morning and covers over the darkness of the night
It illuminates the shadows presenting warm and wondrous light
Its being and presence so big and filled with heat
Magnify all directions and shed light through darkened streets
When it wakes its ask not permission to shine its light so bright
It does so with reckless abandon pushing back all traces of night
It cares not what weather tries to impose nor if we can see it past the clouds
It shines brightly, fully, willingly there whilst even covered by heavens shroud
The beams stream through my window piercing shadows and their mist
Its rays are sharp as a pointed sword yet fall on my face like loves sweet kiss
Where do you go when I look up and cannot see you there?
You hide from me yet I feel your presence sifting through the air
The light of love the light of truth the light for all to see
Your power, grace and strength declare your majesty
God hung you in the sky it seems for people just like me
Who cling and grasp and search for truth in a world filled with travesty
Shine brightly and lighten my path be used for your intent
Lest you burn out and not fulfill your purpose leaving all your glory spent
This truth I know, oh light of the sky, this one thing I know is true
My feet need light to walk their steps to make false steps few
Let God above use your light to lighten up this direction
Let him use you and move and point you clearly make no move of stubborn rejection
I need your light so I need it now to hasten up my pace
To open up the path I'm on and finally see his face
