I few years ago I wrote some words. Light of the World |
Now I have some further words to the same tune and using some of the same lines.
Light of the world, of glory born,
Focusing radiance in earthlife
pinpoint Divinity's form,
Light of the world in darkness shine,
Word of God fleshed out in spacetime,
love of God tested in pain.
For it's the Mystery of the universe
The Uncreated makes a home in created time and space
Saviour, shine your life in us
enliven us in bearing light, as wells of grace.

Light of the world

Love of God tested in pain.
For comparison here's the 'original from 2000, posted in 2004.
Light of the World
of glory poured
Word of God Fleshed out in spacetime
Love of God Tested in pain
O gladdening light
enlightening all
we embrace love you've made human
light of truth that sets us free
For it's the mystery of the universe
the uncreated makes a home
in created time and space.
And now you share your self with us
pouring Godlife into death
breaking open life in us.
Jesus, Splice eternity in us
encode in us your Godwardness
and centre us.
Light of the world, of glory born,
Focusing radiance in earthlife
pinpoint Divinity's form,
Light of the world in darkness shine,
Word of God fleshed out in spacetime,
love of God tested in pain.
For it's the Mystery of the universe
The Uncreated makes a home in created time and space
Saviour, shine your life in us
enliven us in bearing light, as wells of grace.
