Today... 'Light' Poem by Roy Allen

Today... 'Light'



There is a Light, an Uncreated Beam
In which the Glory of God can be seen
A pure and holy and an Eternal light
can be seen in Jesus shining so bright

A light brighter than the noonday sun
Shines from the Lord, the Righteous One
And beneath His feet all men shall fall
He's King of kings and Lord of all

Great mystery of Godliness none can tell
How the fullness of the Godhead could dwell
But the glory of God came shining through
There on the mountain before their view

There is a wondrous light that shines so bright.
All darkness is banished before its' sight.
This uncreated Light on earth did shine
earthly life was enriched by the Divine.

With glorious beauty His life unfurled
blazing out holiness in this dark world.
The Shekinah glory comes shining through
as the light of life reaches out to you.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
John 1: 6-9
There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world.

Revelation 1: 12-16
I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone 'like a son of man, 'dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

Matthew 17: 1-3
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.

The Bible calls You by many names
each one giving a glimpse of Your glory.
Like a cut diamond radiating in the sun
with every facet depicting an aspect
of Your Divine Nature.
Today I have thought of You as
'Light'
