The light of God surrounded them:

God’s light
in flames of fire within a bush
telling Moses to take off his shoes
for he is standing on Holy Ground.

God’s light
in a pillar of fire
leading the Israelites to a promised land
during darkened nights in the desert.

God’s light
in tongues of fire
hovering over frightened disciples
baptizing them with the Spirit and new life.

The light of God surrounds us:

God’s light
igniting the flames in our hearts
for peace in a troubled world
inviting Christ to be with us in worship.

God’s light
letting the sunshine in
guiding us into God’s presence
filling our spirits with light and love.
