These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Gentle Lights

Gentle lights adorn the porch,
remind of Christmas nights.
Late the days 'mid humid torch
hope in colors bright.

Gentle lights or brightest day
Christ will come again.
All His Glory on display,
Victor o'er my sin.

Gentle lights shine wondrous when
Earth tromps into dark.
Jesus died for chosen men,
Elect for lasting Ark.

Gentle lights as sunset dims
put the yard to bed.
Sweet the cup of blessing brims
into the night we're led.

Gentle lights adorn this life,
remind of life with Him
when all Earth's distress, and strife
ceases for His Hymn.
