Deep Within
Deep within the soul a fire glows
a candle lit inside each persons soul
The source of it is wisdom that God knows
Don’t let the fire grow dim and turn to coal
The fire grows each time a lesson’s learned
Without it you can’t ever find your way
Lessons failed will leave you scarred and burned
If you don’t seek His wisdom every day
Repeating a lesson only makes things worse
tis better to stoke the fire burning bright
or each trial will feel just like a living curse
and your day will darken cold without it’s light
Seek to learn the lessons of each day
Feed the fire with wisdom given to you
Then your soul will finally learn the way
And God will help in everything you do
Stoke the fire hot and let it burn
Don’t resist and try to run away
There are lessons daily we all must learn
Or we’ll repeat them on another day
It can be easy, but it’s really up to you
Don’t let the fire die and turn to dust
The lessons will be given each day anew
Till you can learn the lessons that you must
Keep the fire lit to always glow
Trim the candle’s wick and let it burn
You won’t succeed by everything you know
Seek wisdom every day so you will learn
