Don't Let Me Stray

We always say, “Lord, walk with me”,
When what we ought to do
Is ask, instead, to help us try
To walk closer to You.
 
We might not end up on dark roads,
Or lost, tangled in fear,
If we chose to follow Your lead,
Not duck and dodge and veer.
 
There’s always something to distract
The soul who wants to roam,
But there’s joy in abundance for
Those who follow You home.
 
You are the path I want to walk,
You are the only way.
Lord, please keep me close by Your side,
So I don’t go astray!!  
 
John 14:6
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
