Rays of Hope

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

From behind the clouds,

Clouds dark as night,

Stream rays of hope,

Rays of Sonlight.

~*~

The warmth of the Son

Embraces my skin,

A fire of hope

Now burns within.

~*~

No cloud too heavy,

No trial too grim,

No night too dark,

No pathway too dim –

~*~

For my Savior,

As He Himself is Love;

He shines upon all

With Light from above.

~*~

O, Ray of hope,

Eternal Sonshine,

Fill us with Your Spirit,

Your light divine.

~*~

Remind us that night

Is as noonday to You;

All things You brighten,

All things You renew.

~*~

The winter of our souls

Becomes as summertime;

The cacophony of trials

Becomes music of rhyme.

~*~

The cross to a crown

You faithfully transform;

Icicles in the hearts

You melt and warm.

~*~

Praise You, Jesus,

Ray of hope, Ray of light;

Praise You, O Star,

Shining in the night.

~*~

Our lives, our hearts,

To You we raise;

You are our Symphony,

Our Song of praise.

 ~*~

No cloud too heavy,

No trial too grim,

No night too dark,

No pathway too dim –

~*~

For life and light

From You, Lord, begin.

Your fire of hope

Burns away pain and sin

~*~

And behind the clouds,

Clouds dark as night,

We see You, O Jesus,

Our Ray of Sonlight.
