Lighthouse in an Angry Sea: dedicated to all the employees in the Energy Corridor
Alone in my boat, awash at sea, so small not even there;
Tumult and peril rolling over me, I row, crying out in
prayer:
“Be thou my shield and hiding place, a lighthouse amidst
raging tide;
As my rising dinghy falls, by grace, keep me safe inside.”
by Manet
Oh wondrous love! To bleed and die to bear the cross and
shame;
In the depths of woe I summon God, exclaiming Jesus’ name:
“Help thy lost sailor Lord, to land on yonder shore;
And witness praise of saints unknown, for ten thousand years
and more!”
by Thomas Moran
