I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light

 I Want to Walk as a Child of the Light

This version is sweet in its simplicity though a little static vocally. The text is included with the video so one can sing along.

The author and composer, Kathleen Armstrong Thomerson, is an accomplished American organist born in 1934. I think she will be best remembered for this song which does not lend itself to virtuoso organ playing. It pulls my spirit in a good direction when I sing it, whether it is with a congregation or just humming around the house. 

If you want to learn more about the song and the composer, there is some interesting information here.

This song can be used for Advent, Epiphany, or general use. I am reminded of Revelation 21:23, referring to the New Jerusalem, “And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of the Lord is its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.”
