The Lighthouse
Like a ship in the storm
I'm tossed to and fro
My sails, torn and battered
Knowing not where I go
I look for the lighthouse
But none do I see
I'm lost in the darkness
Of my own misery
I look for an island
To rest my weary soul
Betrayed by the stars
That's refusing to show
A temporary respite
I pray as I seek
Still finding no beacon
My spirit is weak
On through the darkness
I sail in the night
A soldier of misfortune
I search for the light
I pray in my panic
Sometimes being bold
That someday soon
This anchor will hold
My prayers have been heard
That was prayed thru the night
I now see the Lighthouse
And He's shining so bright
