Turn on the Light (199?)

 ~*~
I've recently run across some old poems... 
I plan to add them to this poetry blog...
So, reader beware...

Turn on the Light 

At times in life, we may go astray
We may forget God's works, try another way
That perhaps looks good; yet we know it's not best.
Why waste God's time on anything less?

Jehosophat learned as he stood with His God.
Yes, he veered the wrong way, but have not we all?
Yet he heeded God's heart and came back the right.
We all have the same choice; choose we the dark or the light?

In the dark we can't see clearly, yet we can still see
But the path is obscured by the absence of light.
Without light on the path, we may stumble or bruise
Yet there's a light within reach; which way will we choose?

Let us gird up our loins, cinch in our belts,
Take a deep breath of God's Word, stand for the truth.
Let us choose the Word's way, shine God's light on our path.

Let us run with the household choosing the best.
Let us make our allegiance to God's Word, nothing less.
Then we will see clearly, and we will choose right.
Let us not choose the darkness; let us turn on the light.
