A Brilliant Light


A Brilliant Light
 
I ne’er despair whate’er my lot,
For God has found the very spot-
On which I stand, and when I fall,
The highs the lows; He sees it all.

When life is grand or when it’s grim,
Yes, for it all my thanks to Him-
Who made me what I am today,
No shame at all to kneel and pray.

The more I seek the more I find,
It’s when I turn my back I’m blind-
I’ve found in life my greatest sin,
Is when my will has turned within?

Compounded by that question mark,
The bluest blues; the darkest dark,
Yet, brilliant light shines through each loss,
The One who saves survived the cross!
