Stay Close to the Light

Stay close to the Light,

And follow His lead,

Because in the night,

His guidance we need

Stay close to the Light,

When questions arise,

The way, truth, the right,

May come as surprise

Stay close to the Light,

-Our Savior and Friend-

Or wander we might,

In tide or in trend

Stay close to the Light,

For safe is His way,

His lamp, it is bright,

While near it we stay

Stay close to the Light,

Yet, faith must still grow

In trusting His sight

For what we don't know

Stay close, my dear friend, to the Light!

Trust

Could we peel away the sky,

Could we answer every "Why",

Could we plumb the waters deep or ocean wide

Could we look into the realm

Of the waves that overwhelm, 

Or explain the ebb and flow of lunar tide

Could we answer every doubt,

And describe our total route,

Could we map our lives from genesis and on

Could we always, fully know,

Would we ever fully grow,

In the faith that sees at night the morning dawn? 

For the faith that has it's sight,

And is strengthened with the night,

When tested, proved, comes forth a brighter gold

Through days of darkness now,

With trusting we can bow,

And with thanks, commit to Him what's yet untold!
