God's light at Dawn on Christmas Morn


I took this photo at dawn on Christmas morning.

How appropriate that at dawn on the morning celebrating the birth of Jesus, "The Light of the World", that the Creator would light His world this way! I felt privileged and awed and so very thankful to view this from the east coast of Taiwan.

The Light of the World is Jesus!

The whole world was lostIn the darkness of sin,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Like sunshine at noonday,His glory shone in.
The Light of the world is Jesus!

Refrain
Come to the light, ’tis shining for thee;Sweetly the light has dawned upon me.
Once I was blind, but now I can see: The Light of the world is Jesus!
No darkness have we who in Jesus abide;The Light of the world is Jesus!
We walk in the light when we follow our Guide! The Light of the world is Jesus!

Refrain

Ye dwellers in darknessWith sin blinded eyes,
The Light of the world is Jesus!
Go, wash, at His bidding,And light will arise.
The Light of the world is Jesus!

Refrain

No need of the sunlightIn Heaven we’re told;
The Light of the world is Jesus!
The Lamb is the LightIn the city of gold,
The Light of the world is Jesus!

Refrain
