I want to walk as a child of the light; I want to follow Jesus.
God set the stars to give light to the world; the star of my life is Jesus.
In Him there is no darkness at all; the night and the day are both alike.
The Lamb is the light of the city if God: shine in my heart, Lord Jesus.

Kathleen Thomerson, from her hymn “I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light”
