When troubles come

When darkness falls

Upon your life,

Upon us all,

You be the light,

The one who stands

Strong against the

Storm’s fierce hands

That slap and toss

You to and fro.

When it gets hard,

Do not let go.

Cling to the One

Called your Anchor.

He will keep you

Safe forever.

In the end, your

Light will shine as

A testament

Of what has passed.

You may shine ‘lone

For you will see

That most will not

Fight ‘gainst the sea

That rages. They

Go with the ebb

And flow and make

The sand their beds

On the ocean’s

Floor. Be a sea

Star, shining bright

In the depths of

Darkest night.
