The Light
by Gary Field

One of God's great miracles
is the precious gift of light.
To see a field of flowers,
or an eagle's soaring flight.

But sight has its' limitations,
of distance, depth, and height.
One good illustration,
is in darkness--compared to light.

If you gaze upon the ocean,
upon the vastness of the sea;
you would get some kind of notion,
of just how far you can see.

It seems you can see forever,
but friend, there is so much more..
Like what you can't see, however,
between the waves and the ocean floor.

It adds a new dimension,
and it may humble you to find,
what's beyond our comprehension.
In so many ways, we are blind.

To walk by faith, (and not by sight),
is a miracle of His grace.
Out of the darkness: into the light.
Into the warmth of God's embrace.

The mind is quicker than the eye,
how much more the speed of light,
and yet some still choose to rely
on JUST the power of their sight.

Now hear the truth: He is the light.
And certainly the only way,
is to walk by faith, not just by sight;
to hear The Word, and to obey!

Yes, one of God's great miracles,
may be the precious gift of sight,
but a far, far, more precious gift,
was His son, who said: "I am the light."

GlORY BE TO GOD
