Keeper of the Lamp

Keeper of the lamp

Exodus 27:20-21

“You shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, that a lamp may regularly be set up to burn.  In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD.  It shall be a statute forever to be observed throughout their generations by the people of Israel.”

I am the keeper of the lamp.

The collector of the oil

What a purity, what a beautiful thing it is

A light that burn with no smoke to blur its brightness

A light that burn to remind us to praise our God

I am the keeper of the lamp.

I am one of the family of Gods beloved  children

I gaze intently at the hue of its glow day in and day out.

In the morning I rise to tend to the flame

At night I care for it as a shepherd to its flock

I am the keeper of the lamp.

My heart worships with the never fading light

I am the keeper of the lamp.

A child of God on high

A bearer of His holy name

A servant to His will

And a lover of His covenant

I am a keeper of the lamp.

I shall tend it from evening to  the very lights of the morn

I will observe its beauty and testament

I will worship it for the rest of my days

His lamp is and will be a statute forever

I am the keeper of the lamp.

My heart worships with the never fading light
