MY LIGHTHOUSE

MY LIGHTHOUSE

On the edge of a cliff of fear

Beside a raging sea

The light from your heart shall guide me

And safe I will surely be.

The storms of life shall not bother me

Although my boat be storm tossed

Your caring light shall guide me

My vessel will not be lost.

Away from the rocks you will guide me

And when the storms are passed

You will guide me back to harbour 

And I shall be safe at last.

I shall listen to the water lapping

And watch as the sea birds soar

Happy to be anchored safe again

At the edge of the golden shore.

You stand tall and proud

A constant reminder to me

That your light will shine again

Over my storm tossed sea.

Out of the mists that gather

And make it hard to steer,

The beacon of your light will shine,

And I shall feel you near.

My blessings are many for all to know

And safe I shall surely be

While your guiding light watches over me

And my often troubled sea.

WAVES OF TRANQUILITY

WAVES OF TRANQUILITY

Waves of tranquility

Please wash over me

Hold me close

So that I may see

The peace and the calm

That you bring to my days,

Changing my life

In such special ways.

Waves of tranquillity

Let me drift on your tide,

Knowing at last

I am safe on your side.

Give me your peace

As I rest where I land

 With trickling water

And grains of rough sand.

Waves of tranquillity

Anchor me fast

Shelter me safely

Until the storm is past.

Let me see clear skies;

Feel days without pain,

Let the comfort you give me

Always remain.

Waves of tranquillity

Let me travel with you,

Until the safe harbour

Comes into view.

Waves of tranquillity

A haven for me,

Carry me safe

Over life’s troubled sea.
