Look to the light

If the darkness surrounds and the storms do arise

where will you look, when you focus your eyes

will you look at the dark and hide in the cave

or will you look to the light and learn to be brave

I saw all the shame, the hurt and the blame

I saw all the tears, the darkness and fears

the greif and the loss, the unbearable hurt

the ones who are lost who dig into the dirt

I look up above and set my eyes on the lord

he knows of all pain and he guards with his sword

I know he loves us still when we're out of our mind

he gives us the way to the light we can find

with his marvelous words the storms will depart

and a mighty great change can be felt in the heart

He loves us and leads when the darkness surrounds

he guides us when pain and trials abounds

he knows of the heart that is trying its best

and he knows just how hard to pass this lifes test

he is right there always just waiting for me

to put my hand up and and look up and see

the light is right there always for all

he stretches his hand and gives us the call

Come follow me and look to the light

someday to return out of that black night.

Each of us loved more than you could know

each of us folded inside that great glow

he gave us the chance to come back to him

from out of the darkness and storms that are grim.

Just one little thing, look up to the light

choose to look up, to keep that great sight

always see good wherever you can

and follow the lord right back with his plan.

There is always a way for those who do right

to come back to him and live in his light

if you just do your best with a will and a way

he will bring you back with come what yet may

you are never alone you have no need to fear

you are held in his hands your spirit quite dear

he loves you enough to call you back home

whenever you stray wherever you roam

Just come follow him, listen to his great voice

make the right answer, make the right choice

look up to the light when the darkness surrounds

and someday you will walk on his holy grounds

Look to the light, look up in the night

never alone with the battle or fight

with his marvelous words, and his marvelous hands

you are never alone where the Savior here stands

look to the light, remember just this

you are never alone with the light you can't miss.

Inspired by a thought that hit me earlier today.  Best of blessings,
