My Light Within Poem by Ima Ryma

The Bible tells that Jesus taught
That though the darkness 'round me be,
Jesus is with me, and I ought
To show the light that's within me,
And be a beacon in the night
With thoughts and deeds that show the good
To all others drawn to my light,
And know they can because I could.
To hide my light, Jesus did teach,
Is of no use to anyone,
So I need always seek to reach
Within for light, gift from God's Son.

In God's glory, my light does shine
So that salvation will be mine.
