He Was Born, Like You

He was born, like you, So that you might become like him, His light in the deepest darkness Amid sorrows, pain, and fears.

His joy, his happiness in you— Share it generously with the unfortunate: For someone in the deepest darkness Light will pour into a wasted life.

The peace and calm you hold within Give to the restless hearts around: In the impenetrable, deepest dark, Shine with the righteous light of God.

That freedom in which you live, In truth, in faith, in hope, in love— On the road that you are walking, Call all those lost in the thick gloom!
