The oil of joy will keep your lamp aglow and shed light

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”

PSA 119: 105

The oil of joy will keep your lamp aglow,

Shedding light on the path as you go,

As you place your trust in the Higher power

And cease to ponder why things are so.

The Lord knows what you can carry,

So keep in mind when the sky is grey

That many victories have been accomplished

Along the path of disarray.

Why try cloud tomorrow’s sunshine

When today we can seek to repair?

Mindful one step in faith is more rewarding

Then a marathon of despair.

You’ll find time will play its gentle part

And lead you steadily towards your goal,

Those buds of faith will grow and blossom,

Adding grace to the conquering soul.
