Torch

By Mike Bullock

A torch is only any use
With batteries included
And then we have to turn it on
Or we will be deluded
For if we try in our own strength
To see the way ahead
The darkness will envelop us
And change our route instead.

The Holy Spirit is our source
Of wisdom, power and might
His constant charge will never fail
To keep us in the light
He is the battery of our torch
Without Him we are dead
So tap into His power each day
Illuminate our tread.
