A Lookout Spot

A window into heaven

Heaven’s window into my soul

Onward, upward climbs my gaze

Deeper inward stretch your sunlight’s rays

Destroying darkness where it hides

In hateful shadows in clouded minds

At your command as You have planned

“Let there be light.” Let there be light!

And still the darkness will not comprehend

Hopeless, heartless darkness holding fallen, blinded men

Released into your eternal, living light

We must be born again

“The lamp of the body is the eye; if therefore your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be filled with darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23)

“Arise, shine; for your light has come,

And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” (Isaiah 60:1)
