Help Us To Stay Close

 

Oh Lord, You’ve given us Your words,
You’ve set the path we walk.
You’ve even sent us Your Spirit
To help us share and talk.
 
I don’t think You could be more clear
About what we’re to do,
Yet, so often we get off track,
And then lose sight of You.
 
Oh Lord, I pray for Your children,
Still walking through this land,
That we might turn our eyes to You
And reach out for Your hand.
 
I pray that we will spend some time
Each day talking to You.
Maybe less talking and a bit
More listening will do.
 
I pray that we walk through this world
Staying close by Your side,
Instead of following our gaze,
Wandering far and wide.
 
Oh Lord, I lift up Your children.
Help us draw close enough
That we will not be swept adrift
When this life grows too rough.
 
Psalm 25:4-5
Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
