To a formless world, shrouded in whole darkness
God brought forth light to remove the harshness
To a dark, foreboding room with no shape
Candles illuminate our morning landscape
From a barren, lifeless pine or Douglas fir tree
Christmas brings lights, and makes us feel free
To a cold, hostile land without any light at night
Early man learns of fire, to warm and offer sight
To a student, who feels frustrated in a lesson so dark
A teacher brings patience, and a smile offers a spark
To a darkened, isolated highway on a night with no moon
Bright headlights point us safely towards home very soon
To a world seeking guidance and a fresh start
Lady Liberty’s welcoming torch, sets her apart
To a frightened child, waking up in darkness of the night
Parents bringing a beam of light, to take away his fright
To a middle-aged adult, stricken with eyesight very poor
A doctor’s skill removes a cataract, so she can see more
To an empty and humbling manger, in a crowded stable
A bright star over Bethlehem, showing what is now able
To heal the broken, lost life of a desperate man
God offering a sustaining and hope-filling plan
