Sunshine Love

The love of God glows like the sunlight shines,
it fills the world in every nook and cranny,
each shadow fades and to its bed resigns,
the dying of the dark is so uncanny.

Sin falls to light as soon as it’s forgiven,
rage and its hate collapse before God’s love,
hell disappears from sight once we’re in heaven,
dark here below must bow to light above.

The Lord’s own light of love enfolds us all,
surrounds the world and penetrates our souls,
no one should fear to hear God’s loving call,
we need not ask for whom His love-bell tolls.

God’s light, though silent and invisible,
envelopes me, His humblest miracle.
