Down the Road Where You Lead

amidst the lost and lonely emptiness,

of this long cold night,

I search for Your precious presence,

through the constant bombardment and battering,

of the enemies cruel and vicious attacks;

I cry out for You;

O Lord,

be real within my mind and heart,

do not be distant and far away,

reach out Your mighty hand,

bring forth Your glorious mercy and grace,

show Your servant blessed favor;

silence the careless words of anger and hurt,

rolling off my venomous tongue,

remove the thoughts of evil and lust,

clouding my flesh-driven mind,

pull me from this iniquity and filth,

I find myself drowning in.

I can’t make it any other way,

I have tried so many times before,

I have searched for so very long,

I have walked in darkness all my life;

You are the only answer,

You are the only truth,

You are the only light,

You are the only way;

save me Lord,

heal my broken spirit,

shelter me from the gathering storm,

guide my every step,

fill me with Your perfect love,

teach me Your righteous and holy ways;

remove anything not of You;

down the road where You lead,

is where I will travel,

Yours is the face I will seek,

for all of my days.
