Analysis of A LIGHTHOUSE
I don't desire money or earthly gain,
you may even think i'm truly insane.
All these thing's will soon pass away you see,
so the treasures on earth, there just not right for me.
I may not have money or many thing's as I live,
that's because to other's from my heart I give.
For I am rich beyond belief in spiritual thing's,
my heavenly Father spiritual blessing's He brings.
So my heart isn't set on riches, and in luck- I do not believe,
only by faith, my riches in God do I receive.
He will guide me to my heavenly place,
where I am loved and filled with Gods Grace.
All I need and seek for is this I say,
the path of light that runs darkness away.
Then shall I be just where I need to be,
a true light of God, standing as a light house, for all His children to see.
