YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT

YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT

by

J. A. Fullerton

 

Those who believe in Jesus do not belong to the darkness or the night

They put on faith and love as a breastplate and become children of the light

The hope of salvation is their helmet and prayer their constant friend

And throughout their life to the will of God their own will does bend.

 

They never repay evil with evil but have the best intentions for everyone

For they look above to a higher wisdom and follow the example of God's Only Son

They shun every form of evil and hold onto what is good

For they hope the peace of God will make them holy and behave as children of the light really should.

 

They try to discover what God wants of them, and the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness uprightness and the truth

And anything shown up by the light is illuminated as their proof

They never indulge in sexual immorality or impurity for they are works of the darkest star

But avoid all works of darkness and show them up for what they are.
