We are the light of the world

If we consider that trying to bring peace, justice and harmony to the world is bringing light to the world, then we are the light of the world;

We are the light of the world.

When we act in ways that encourage love and fairness;

When we share another's pain, or offer a comforting ear to a friend in need;

When we give food to the hungry or support ways to help the homeless;

We are the light of the world.

When we fight temptations to wrongdoing within ourselves and treat our neighbours with respect;

When we try to overcome differences with understanding and solve conflict by peaceful means;

When we look for the good in other people and ourselves;

We are the light of the world.

When we do not stay quiet in the face of prejudice, but speak out against it;

When we fight despair within ourselves and side with hope;

When we use our powers justly and in the service of love to humanity;

We are the light of the world.

We are the light of the world.

So be it.
