Come, spread the light if you've known me
You can be salt if you'll only
Open your heart to the lonely
Come and join in my song
Be gentle, don't be attacking
I'll give you strength when its lacking
Your love can soar with my backing
Come and join in my song
So, come and sing
Of the purpose I bring
Sing the song, walk the talk and be whole
Humility leaves you
Open to me
So my spirit can dwell in your soul
Bring my light to the despairing
Brighten their lives with your caring
Broadening minds with your sharing
Come and join in my song
Come, be the light in their dimness
Come, be the salt in their grimness
Help find the depth that's within us
Come and join in my song
You are the gift
That can help moods to lift
Be the pencil that maps out my plan
Trusting in me
You can help the blind see
With my guidance you'll find that you can
The glimpses of me may be fleeting
Within each new person you're greeting
Remember I'm there in your meeting
Come and join in my song
Come spread the light if you've known me
You can be salt if you'll only
Open your heart to the lonely
Come and join in my song
Come and join in my song
Isaiah 58:7-10
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover him,
and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then shall your light break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up speedily;
your righteousness shall go before you;
the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer;
you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you take away the yoke from your midst,
the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,
if you pour yourself out for the hungry
and satisfy the desire of the afflicted,
then shall your light rise in the darkness
and your gloom be as the noonday.
cf: Matthew 1:1-8, Psalm 51:10, Ezekiel 36:26, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 3:18, Philippians 1:6
