Amid the dark, where shadows coldly reign,
A soul, encrusted deep in earthen mire,
Yearns for a light, a gleam to end its pain,
A spark to lift it from the ash and fire.
Like ruby fierce, with veins of molten glow,
Because of Jesus Christ, blood freely streams,
An emerald throne, where living waters flow,
Through Him, eternal life in faceted dreams.
The sapphire’s depth, a vault of cosmic hue,
Resounds with Christ’s own call, serene and vast,
While topaz burns, a solar amber brew,
His strength defies the storm, unbowed, steadfast.
In diamond’s heart, through Jesus, brilliance wakes,
A prismed peace, where every sorrow breaks.

The heavens hum a silent song,
A chorus vast, unbroken, strong,
Day whispers truth to day anew,
Night unveils stars, a boundless view.

Your Word, O Lord, a golden stream,
Purer than dawn’s first piercing beam,
It stirs the soul, it lights the mind,
A treasure sweet, no flaw to find.

The skies, your canvas, stretch and soar,
The law, your gift, our hearts restore,
More precious than the finest hoard,
Sweeter than honey, O my Lord.

Let every breath, each thought I frame,
Rise like the sun to praise your name,
My Rock, my Light, my soul’s desire,
Set me ablaze with holy fire.
