LET THE LOWER LIGHTS…

A lighthouse is a friend indeed for a lost ship to see from far away. But as illustrated in this picture, it is insufficient without some lower lights to show the boundaries of a harbor.

Jesus is the Light; he needs men and women who will point the way to a safe harbor. He needs the lower lights to guide the struggling seafarer safely to the shore.

The history of the song, “Let the Lower Lights be Burning,” is online at https://iblp.org/sites/default/files/pdf/responsibility_song.pdf

About oneta hayes

ABOUT ME Hello. To various folks I am Neat’nee, Mom, Grandma Neta, Gramma, Aunt Neta, Aunt Noni, Aunt Neno, and Aunt Neto (lots of varieties from little nieces and nephews).

By necessity you are among those who come after me and I will tell you of those who came before.

    This was one of my favorite hymns as a child, in that I was small for my age until high school and keenly felt like a “lower light.” 😉
