My Truth, My Breath, My Everything

help me to stand O Lord

at the foot of Your glorious throne,

lead me down paths of righteousness,

teach me Your sacred and holy ways,

shelter me from the enemy silently waiting outside,

raise me up above the chaos and confusion;

remove this anger and turmoil

living deep within my troubled soul,

defeat the lusts and perversions

quietly lurking inside my weakened flesh,

deliver me from the evil surrounding my every side;

let me take refuge in You O Lord;

silence the iniquity and filth

spewing from my foolish tongue,

let every word from my lips

bring praise to Your precious name,

let Your mercy and grace flow like a mighty river;

fill me with Your unspeakable love;

use this humble vessel my Lord

to declare Your magnificent splendor,

let Your magnificent light shine

like a beacon upon a hill,

when the alluring nighttime darkness

provocatively beckons my searching soul,

You are there softly calling out,

showing me the way home,

leading me back into Your waiting arms,

without You all the words are dead,

without You there is no light,

without You there is no tomorrow,

without You there is no hope;

You are my truth,

You are my breath,

You are my life;

You are my everything.
