Poetry

---

I was looking for a lighthouse
To help me find my way.
I listened to my friends and spouse,
And all they had to say.

Life was dark and seemed so dreary.
I was glad when day was done.
I was tired and so weary;
Life was work and seldom fun.


Then the day I'll always treasure
Chased that darkness all away,
For I found light without measure
And of Jesus now I say

He's the light that brings the flowers
To the garden of my soul.
He's the light that now empowers
My whole life to reach its goal.


There is a goal for each of us
We must reach before we die,
And our only hope is Jesus
And on Him we can rely.

Don't seek to find another sun
To be your guide in the dark.
For Jesus is the only one
Who can lead you to your mark.


There are lights of earthly cities
That have appeal to the crowds,
But the Lord of light just pities
Those who look below the clouds.

They find lights that shine and glimmer
And give joy for half a day,
But they'll never be a winner
Trusting lights that pass away.


When lights of time are going out,
And the times are dark and drear;
When all lights seem to lose their clout,
Let this message your heart cheer:

Look to Jesus, He's the sunlight
That gives light to every man.
He alone can make your life bright,
And illumine God's great plan.


He's the one Sun in the heavens
That gives life to all the earth.
By His power all is driven
From the day it had its birth.

He's the Sun that casts no shadow
Be in morning or high noon.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow
Be it winter or in June.


He's the Sun that casts no shadow
Any time the year around.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow;
He's a Sun that's most profound.

He's the Sun that casts no shadow,
With Him there can be no night.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow;
Everywhere He is the light.


There's no light that's always shining
In this world so filled with night.
And there is no use in whining,
For that won't keep on the light.

All life under earthly sunshine
Has its shadows all around.
You can earthly blessings combine
But still shadows will abound.


Oh the sun stood still for Joshua,
And it helped him win the fight,
But it no doubt cast a shadow,
And it did go down at night.

In the great song of Deborah
She did make this fact quite plain,
That God's own were strong as the sun,
And that's why their foes were slain.


The solar sun sets every night
When its glowing orb goes down,
But Jesus still shines pure and bright;
There's none like Him can be found.

He's the Sun that casts no shadow
On the water or the land.
He's the Sun that casts no shadow,
For His is a flawless plan.
