Take My Hand

take my hand,

lead me as one blinded

by their own ignorance,

rebuke my evil ways,

teach me Your discipline,

show me Your truth,

place Your laws within my heart,

let me follow Your example,

help me to survive the suffering,

make me understand

what love really is;

“Greater love has no one than this,

that he lay his life down

for his friends.” John 15:13

I am so lost,

in a world

blinded by

its own darkness,

surrounded by the need

for retaliation and revenge,

judging by man-made rules

and traditions,

might makes right,

only the strong survive,

killing in the name

of righteousness,

leveling the playing field,

settling the score;

lead me from this place,

forgive the weakness

and corruption,

restore the innocence,

shine Your light upon me,

fill me with Your Spirit,

make me holy and clean;

make me a son

of the living God.
