Guiding Light Poem by louis rams

the road is long, and the road is tough
but we have not traveled it enough.
we do not know what lurks in the dark corners
or behind every shadow.

but our faith and love is our guiding light.
and will always shine bright.

this light will be like a lighthouse beacon
leading you home, and knowing
you'll never be alone.

this guiding light not only shines in our hearts and minds
but will last for all of time.
this is the light of the LORD above,
who always gives his guiding love.

if you guide your heart in the right direction
it will always seek perfection.
look around and you will see
that all nations are longing to be free.

just like a ship stranded at sea
this light is there for you and me.
the mysteries to life we must unravel
for it's a long hard road that we must travel.

so seek the lord and you will find
that true love will unwind.
