“Light Begins at Home” Ruhi Book 12 - The Karmalites

Verse 1 In a quiet home where the children gather Voices rising soft in prayer Hands held close like seeds of promise Learning how to love and care Simple words become a pathway Hearts awaken day by day Every home can shine with purpose Lighting up a brighter way Chorus Light begins at home tonight In every word and every deed Plant the seeds of love and guidance Give the young ones what they need Raise them strong in truth and kindness Teach their spirits how to roam Serving all of humankind When the light begins at home Verse 2 Stories shared around the table Lessons carried in a song Children learning they are needed In a world that must grow strong Step by step their hearts are forming Hopeful dreams begin to rise Little lamps of faith and courage Shining brightly in their eyes Chorus Light begins at home tonight In every word and every deed Plant the seeds of love and guidance Give the young ones what they need Raise them strong in truth and kindness Teach their spirits how to roam Serving all of humankind When the light begins at home Bridge Not by riches, not by power But by love that we impart Families building noble futures One pure action, one true heart Final Chorus Light begins at home tonight Every prayer becomes a flame Children growing into servants Of a world that we must change Hope will travel far beyond us When the seeds of faith are sown Peace for every land will blossom When the light begins at home
