Comes a golden ray of light
Illuminating the darkness
Of a prolonged night.
And suddenly you know
What you hadn't known before.
You begin to see
The opening of a door.
This light can bring a sureness.
A knowledge firm and true,
That there is a special work
You'll soon be called to do.
But if the calling lingers
Just outside the door
You may doubt what you saw
In the light before!
But then the calling comes
Bringing knowledge with the light
And inspiration comes to you
Even in the night.
And this time, though the door stands wide
And the light is shining through,
The darkness sneaks up right behind
To make you doubt the thing you do.
Still, holding fast to what you have
And turning toward the light,
You'll find God's guiding hand is there
To keep you in the right.
And the darkness and confusion
Will be left behind
As you keep that golden ray of light
Fixed firmly in your mind.
