He is My Light

Lisa R. Strong
He is my bright light;
Candle burning in the dark;
Keeper of my dreams;

He is my best friend;
He will never let me down;
Peace I know with Him;

He is my sweet love;
Without Him I would be lost;
I give Him my heart;

He is my defense;
Against evil and despair;
His Word is my shield;

He is my Father;
I am precious in His sight;
His love has no end;

He is my great joy;
A love beyond all telling;
Cleans my sinful heart;

He is my compass;
Puts me on the narrow path;
Praise to You, O God!
