Jesus said to his followers, ‘You are the light of the world’ Matt. 5:14.

My Candle

What was your darkness, David ?
World, flesh and Devil ?
My struggles, too.
Still fashionable, they,
still at work, creating darkness
these latter days.

And what of your light, David ?
A God-lit candle ?
My light, too ! !

Jesus, Saviour,
‘Candle of candles’,
Light of the world,
thank You that all Hell’s fury
can’t dim Your light !

And now, incredibly,
I’m called a light.
O, God, forgive and aid me
If, poorly representing You,
I flicker.
