Make Me a Lamp

Make me a lamp

that lights up a room

Make me a light

that no darkness consumes

give me a reason

to turn on that light,

show me your way

as I walk through the night.

Open my heart

and kindle that flame,

as I step in Your steps

and call out your name,

a lamp that's not hidden

or can be ignored,

doing what you expected,

as I answer the door.

Shine out your light, Lord

to those who need sight,

teach me your ways in

pursuit of what's right,

 brighten the day,

with a beam from Your light.

Give strenth for today,

and a touch of Your might.
