Oh Lord, lead me when I want to fall,
Be my rock, my stay, my all.
Lead me when my faith is week,
Lead me home through times bleak.
Oh Lord, lead me when I go astray,
Seeking after mine own way,
Lead me through woods so dark,
Lead me home when fires spark.
Oh Lord, lead me when my hard heart fights,
Stubborn on self and not on light.
Lead me with your own right hand,
Lead me back to the promised land.
Oh Lord, lead me through my toughest times,
When decisions have not rhythm or rhyme.
Lead me back into the fold,
Lead me by your grace untold.
Oh Lord, lead me when I see no hope,
When times are bad and I cannot cope.
Lead me in spite of a stubborn will,
Lead me and my passions kill.
Oh Lord, lead me till I only see you,
Your likeness with a heavenly hue.
Lead me on your path of glory,
Lead me on till ends my story.
Oh Lord, my weak heart is prone to sin,
Lord lead me back and back again.
“He has made my teeth grind on gravel, and made me cower in ashes; my soul is bereft of peace; I have forgotten what happiness is; so I say, “My endurance has perished; so has my hope from the Lord.” Remember my affliction and my wanderings,the wormwood and the gall! My soul continually remembers itand is bowed down within me. But this I call to mind,and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning;great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,“ therefore I will hope in him.”
(Lamentations 3:16-24 )
Psalm 27, 38, 51, Lamentations 3.
Lord lead us all.
