As the rays of the sun
light the hours of the day
Let the warmth of Your love
show others the way.
Be as a beacon
to those who are lost
In the turbulent anger
of a heart tempest-tossed,
For anger and hate
harm the one who recalls
The sins made against him,
and builds up high walls.
If mercy and love
play a role in each life,
Avoiding all discord
with freedom from strife,
Then peace, joy and hope
will enter the soul,
And God's gentle compassion
will make that life whole.
