SHINE BRIGHTLY ON USBy Kwasi I. Kena. Based on Psalm 27, Isaiah 9:1–4.
Davis, Valerie Bridgeman and Saifyah Fosua. The Africana Worship Book. Discipleship Resources, 2006. p. 84
Guide our feet Lord.
Show us the light of grace when
we would judge others too harshly.
Warm our hearts with the glow
of your love when we would spew
icy words of spite. Illumine our souls
with joyful delight when sadness
tries to take over the day.
Shine brightly on us today, Lord,
until we reflect your glory
as a witness to this world.
Amen.
