Keeper of my lighthouse, please –
Shine in me today.
Standing firm on God, my Rock,
May I never stray.
‘I Am the solid Rock on which you stand.’
Clouds of fear impair my sight –
Casting doubt upon the source.
Trying hard to do what’s right,
Help me stay on course.
‘I will always be there to light your way.’
Keeper of my lighthouse, I know
that You are in control.
Lead me from this gloom of night
Compass for my soul.
‘I will steer thee beyond your darkest night.’
Like a ship off course I wander
Upon a darkened reef.
Lord, steer me safely yonder
and bring me back from grief.
‘I will lead if you will only follow.’
Keeper of my lighthouse –
You bathe me in Your light.
Your radiance makes straight my path
and shines with all Your might.
‘I will never leave thee nor forsake thee.’
Through this storm of dreadful pain –
Waves consume my life.
Bring me through my tempest strain—
Lead me from this strife.
‘I will guide thee through every storm of life.’
Keeper of my lighthouse, come!
Let Your bright light shine,
Casting doubts and fears away—
Save this life of mine.
‘Child, I Am the Keeper of your lighthouse.’

I can feel such pain and such hope and love all at the same time in your poem. I’ve walked that path more often than I wanted to. But like in your poem, God was always there lighting the way.
