The Lighthouse

 

The Lighthouse of the World

 

The lighthouse stands on a lonely shore

Shedding a ray in the night:

Ships that are passing keep a close watch

And follow the beam of light.

God is the lighthouse of the world

Shining by day and by night.

Not just a ray to keep you from harm

But a bright eternal light.

For the sailor the light shines just for him

And points the way to the sea;

God's light keeps shining for everyone

And for all eternity.

(Ruth Moyer Gilmour)

Life is a sea

Some days are stormy, some are calm,

Some days are filled with joy, some strife,

But help me , Lord, that I may be

Serene upon the sea of life.

***

Help me to meet whatever comes

With faith that all is for the best.

If grief be mine, then let me be

Prepared to meet the acid test

***

Life is not difficult when skies

Are bright and all the sails go well,

But when the skies are thick and black,

Yes, that's when character will tell.

***

For life is like the sea, and storms

Are bound to happen on the way.

Lord give me strength and inner faith

To meet whatever comes my way!
