Lighthouse...

Know therefore that the Lord your God is God;
he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations
of those who love him and keep his commandments.
Deut.7:9

Inept, the cold hard comfort of things pressed against our skin

Where flesh and blood appointments test the walls of worlds within

Time’s atrium of common care, of choice and consequence

Would be too much for man to bear but for Hope’s confidence

As strife runs rife and tests faith with its rival; fear and doubt

While life is but the wherewithal to who life is about

And all we have to lean on is the Word of God, my love

But if we humbly trust His Truth His Word will be enough

…to carry us from here to where there is no grief or pain

Beyond the cold, hard comfort of Things that cannot sustain

Where darkness would obliterate save for a Light within

God’s promises to navigate the way that leads to Him
