These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Dancing Lights

The dancing lights remind of Truth
the heart, that lives through days of dark.
The happiness of ancient youth
can't match the hope I've learned to park.

The dancing lights in whispered thought
proclaim the joy, that Christ now lives.
All Light from Him redemption bought.
To receptive hearts Salvation gives.

The dancing lights can warm us when
we're pained through lack and graying steps.
These dots remain through a world of sin
and focus minds through The Word adept.

The dancing lights, so small and frail,
are stronger than all joys opposed
for Jesus Christ through thorn and nail
still lives as He, Who died and rose.

The dancing lights give a moment's pause
to sit and think about the Living One,
Who is eternal Light and Cause,
outshining the brightness of the sun.
