Gates of Light

Something I hope brightens your day.

Gates above now shining down
Look on me and show your crown.
The keeper stands and guards the door
While shadows throng up to its shore.

Hearts lift up to hope and more
Take the joy that they implore.
The fire of hope lights beacons bold
That humble hearts take and hold.

They sally forth to a darkened world.
And plant the seeds of shining pearls.
Songs lift up with singing voice
And sing and praise and all rejoice.

Gates above now shining down
We lift back up your shining crown
As the night must yield to day
Your light shall ever guide our way.
