Every Great Light

You were made by the
one who made every great light.
A rare olive shoot, filled
with the light from the
kingdom of life.
You were made to shine
like the brightness of heaven.
You were made to shine
like the stars,
forever and ever.
You were made to be brave;
to be true to the light you carry.
You were made to be brave
when other lamps have
run out of oil,
and other start
wandering in the dark.
You were made by the
one who made every great light.
A rare olive shoot, filled
with the light from the
kingdom of life.
You were made to grow,
emptying yourself
as your roots spread wider.
You were made to grow
fruit that keeps others strong,
and carries seeds of hope.
You were made to be
rest in every season,
an ear that always listens,
understanding in any time.
You were made to be
comfort to the weary,
truth to those who need it,
and a friend who reminds them
that they were made by the
one who made every great light.
You were made by the
one who made every great light.
A rare olive shoot, filled
with the light from the
kingdom of life.

All the Rainbows

We've been preparing
for you to arrive.
We'll treasure the moment
when you came to life,
and completed our family.
When you are dreaming;
when you're awake;
every new step you take;
every choice you make:
we'll be right near you
every new day.
Adoring all the rainbows you radiate.
You have a candle,
a city of light.
A sun that no longer sets;
an unending shine.
So you can be brave and know that...
When you are dreaming;
when you're awake;
every new step you take;
every choice you make:
we'll be right near you
every new day.
Adoring all the rainbows you radiate.
If you feel abandoned;
if you feel alone:
listen to your great light,
it'll lead you home.
If you feel scared or
like you'll never escape:
we will remind you
that it's never too late.

Like a Torch

You brought us together bone to bone.
You brought breath to what was slain.
And we lived and stood on our feet.
You are what lifted me from my grave.
God will strengthen you. You are a lion.
You’ll deliver light to growing darkness.
Sleep well tonight, so you can wake up and conquer.
You will never be prey;
you have the power of good and truth.
The hand of the Lord is strong upon you.
You’ll radiate like bronze.
And you will lead like a torch;
bringing brightness all around us.
