Not a word men have uttered was ever as true
As the Word God has spoken in Scripture to you;
You do well to give heed; it’s a light to your path;
Other lights though they sparkle all lead you to wrath.

For the sparkles that glitter and twinkle and glow
Are designed to attract; they are mainly for show;
All who walk in the light of such sparkles will fall
For they can’t light your steps or give guidance at all.

There are those who will seek that you follow their lead
Where the dazzle and glitz are convincing indeed;
I myself travelled long on the highway of glam
Till the day that I found all the gloss was a sham.

When the Light of the world shone His Light deep inside
All the sparks I had followed soon flickered and died;
All at once I could see how my freewheeling youth
Was enthralled by the glitter, devoid of the truth.

For His Light reaches clear to the depths of the soul
Exposing to truth where the dark had control,
The darkness must flee from His Light’s piercing glare
There’s no place it can hide, He lays everything bare.

By His grace, through His Word I now see things aright
As I walk every day in its radiant light;
All the sparks from the past are both useless and dead
Thus confirming what God through Isaiah has said.

Every word God has uttered will surely come true
And it’s all clearly written in Scripture for you;
You do well to give heed; turn away from each spark,
For His Light in its brilliance extinguishes dark.
