Our God wants to return,

Our God wants to return, He is waiting for those Who like Joseph and like Paul Will learn the secret How to lack or abound, How to trust and submit, How to live the reigning life And speak all that you see.

God said, You are the salt of the earth You are the light of the world. In this dark age you shine As luminaries in the heavens. But we shine not from ourselves; We behold and we reflect The glory of our Lord.

Often we are distressed, In a pit or slavery. But we’re not there on our own; Jehovah’s there with us, And He is working the most When it seems like all is wrong, When we are very low, He supplies and cares for us.

God said, You are the salt of the earth You are the light of the world. In this dark age you shine As luminaries in the heavens. But we shine not from ourselves; We behold and we reflect The glory of our Lord.
