The Guiding Light
When worried about my security's steadfastness
since I see not the future,
I trust the guiding Light… my God – the omniscient Supreme One
Who knows my tomorrow; and can brighten my eternity!
When frustrated by spiritual crises
and groping for hope’s radiance,
I follow the guiding Light… my God – the sovereign Ruler
Who revives my soul; and can make me triumphant!
When wallowing in discontentment
while lingering in envy’s dimness,
I seek for the guiding Light… my God – the satisfaction Source
Who fills my heart with His goodness; and can nourish my well-being!
When blinded with unbelief
being tormented with doubts,
I cry to the guiding Light… my God – the perfect Teacher
Who restores my faith’s sight; and can empower me with His truth!
When pulled toward worldliness’ obscurity
against pressures of choosing what’s right,
I abide in the guiding Light*… my God – the wise Counselor
Who upholds my life; and can direct my steps to blessed service!
*Psalm 118:27 God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light.
