18. salt of the earth, light of the world
"you are the salt of the earth
you are the light of the world"
pure or impure salt, bright or weak light
these are what we are, we are told
if we lose our saltiness
will we ever get it back?
if our light does not beam brightness
then our lives are in the dark
as salt we must provide flavor
to something that is bland
as light we must drive darkness
and beam brightness where we stand
salt that has become tasteless
is useless and must be cast away
light that doesn't give brightness
should be put out without delay
flavor the lives of the people around us
so that through us they will know God's truth
help them preserve their life's value
prevent decay, instead bear fruits
let our light warm the people around us
let them feel protected and secure
shine our light as bright as He wants
help bring them closer to the love that endures
whose life are we impacting?
are we reflecting the light of God?
a thirst for God, are we creating?
for other people to desire what we have
