A prayer
Jesus, you are the light of the world,
a light that no darkness can quench.
Upon your church
wrestling with the darkness of evil,
battling against doubt,
let your light shine.
Upon the world governments
facing gloom and despair,
battling against disaster,
let your light shine.
Upon those that live in the shadows,
caught up in sorrow and strife,
struggling against oblivion,
let your light shine.
