Moon’s Light

In the night sky 

In the darkness of the night 

He pulled the curtain closed

Yeah, tucked me in bed alright

To shine like the moon 

Would be a wonderful delight 

But, truthfully I’m only a star

Millions of miles away 

The light I shine has already began to fade 

Cuz the brighter I shine the faster I fade

I fade 

From the memories of the those I love 

I fade 

From the memories of those I helped 

I fade 

From the memories of those I taught 

I fade 

From the gaze of the eye

When the clouds cover me and block my light

I fade 

From life to death 

But in His mind, soul, and heart 

I live forever 

Then, my life shall start 

Behold, my Lord and Creator, each and every desire of mine is at the disposal of Thy will and eternal providence. Do with me as it pleases Thee, in life, in death, and after death, in time, and in eternity. Amen!
