"Seek the Light, Rise to Act"

Behold, O Lord, in whispers soft and clear,
Is the Lord a friend with whom you spend time?
In earnest talk, is faith your daily climb? 
Or is your prayer a fleeting glance, my dear?

No one else can aid you through the night,
Brother of Jared knew this truth so well.
He called to God, his heart began to swell,
And asked for light to guide his path aright.

The Lord invites us to consider well, 
To ponder deep and seek what we can do. 
He waits for us to share our thoughts anew, 
And grants us wisdom, guiding through the swell. 

So kneel in prayer, let thoughts and faith unite, 
Then rise and act, for blessings come in light.

Behold, O Lord
Is the Lord an intimate friend?
How long talking, do you two spend?
Or is it just one time and done?
No one else can help you , no none.
Brother of Jared knew this well.
He cried to the Lord more than a spell.
Asked Not to confuse their language,
and darkness of boats to vanquish.
What will ye have that I should do?
Lord responds, for that is your cue.
None of God's child put faith forward,
Seen in his glory, much adored.
