I am the resurrection and the light

I am the torch that guides you through the night

I am the truth of all that’s good and right

I am the eyes of those who have no sight.

 

Please come to me, oh child of mine,

For I am the Father, thy Holy Divine

Please come to my table for prayer and to dine

and drink from the cup of my blessed wine.

 

Fear not of being of thyself,

For in the Kingdom of God you are of myself

In my eyes, you are of good things

And you’ll always find protection beneath by wings.

 

Be happy for the love you share with me

Be proud of the person you’ve turned out to be

And shine for all the world to see

Because you know destiny lies within me.
