questions to ponder

How useful is a light, really,
   when it’s in a room that’s bright?
Is a call for help heard,
   when no one is around to listen?
If I avoid the sick,
   does that really keep me well?
Do I walk around the sinner,
   so my reputations stay holy?

“My life for the Gospel”

Can I use my light,
   to illuminate the night?
Can I be a beacon,
   to those trapped in choppy seas?

“light these idle sticks of my life and may I burn for thee”

Show me the hurting,
   so I may show them health.
Show me the dead,
   so I may show them life.
Use what light I have,
   I am not afraid of the darkness.
