all that I do






Keep my steps true Lord

as I walk with You

keeping my eyes only

and forever on You

keep my words honest

without fault

keep me strong and faithful

always in You

as I walk

let my footsteps fall only on Your path

sure of where I am going

with You

should I stumble

allow me Lord, to lean on You

gain my balance in Your word

guide me, in all things

that I may not be found wanting

guide me, in all things

that You would find no fault in me

make me strong in You

that I may share Your gospel in gladness

share in love

what You have done

not only for me, a sinner lost

cleansed in You

share what You have done

for all of mankind

all that will hear, understand, and come to You

answer Your call to them

let my footsteps be true

and my words more so

let them be Yours

my actions, Yours

let me Lord, I ask, reflect Your light

to a darkened world

help me Lord, give me strength

that my words, thoughts, actions

all be true, in You

find not my Lord

hypocrisy in me

let Your Spirit, abiding in me

show me, guide me, chastise me

so that all I do

will bring glory, Lord my King

to You

along the way

With each step that I take

every heart beat every breath

I know, I will see You

along the way

You are here with me always

within my heart, by my side

You place before me great beauty

in the landscape and the skies

with each step, every blink

I see the gifts You have placed before me

the colors that stretch out underfoot

as a carpet of Your love

I see life created by Your hand

each with purpose

a miracle in itself as everything works as planned

as I walk, with eyes open I see You


along the way

the music of this life plays

filling my ears

a song and joy to the heart

In the winds blowing through the leaves

the river that flows, dancing to the sea

the humming of the bees

all music, Your song

I find along the way

Your peace fills me

Your comfort covers me

in my knowledge of You

With Your very presence in my life

here with me, within me

I know no matter what may come, all is well

even in the beauty, there are storms

for in the storms is where we grow

stronger in faith, closer in relationship

in the storms and battles we turn to You

seeking You and all You are

these things of You I know I will find

I know I will draw close to me

as I go with You

along the way

Thank you Lord
for being with me
along this way

it is all about You Lord



 


Help me Lord, to remember what's important

not to never to allow, my own thoughts and worries

to consume me, to overcome and over shadow

what is really important, Your children

those around me that are suffering and weary

let me see them Lord, recognize their need

give me wisdom in You Lord, to share

give me strength to reach out and lift up

helping those that are among us, that are in need



You were here among us

You walked the dusty roads, reaching out

to all that You passed,

teaching, explaining, healing

You saw not only to the emotional needs

but to the physical as well

Your love, so great

Your love, enough



Help me Lord, to remember

that as I make this journey to You

walking along with You with me

that I take the time, that I open my eyes

to see those that You have placed in my path

that I may reach out to them, lift them

from where they have stumbled

share with them, the news of You

reaching out in a way that You would

acknowledging, You. How You care for all

and all that is needed by those suffering

Speak to me, let me hear and recognize Your voice

understanding what You would have me do

go where You would have me go

living a life, that glorifies You in all ways



Help me Lord

to remember

it isn't about me

my wants, my needs, my concerns

it is about You Lord

all about You

and Your gracious

precious

merciful

love.

as I walk this road



 


That I walk this road in strength of You

Your peace and love flowing through me

to those around me

that I am able, in act and word

to share all that You are to me, with all that will hear

how You are with me, always.



It is easy, to allow things of this life

to over come our strength

it is easy, to allow worries and fears to grow

so I ask, always for Your peace

in my life, so I may live it out for those around me

that watch and see, how I deal with life's blows





that I walk this road, in Your light and path

Your hand on my life, guiding me

keeping me on Your course, lighting the way

my Shepherd, my Guide, my Strength

You are my Sanctuary always

I run to You, when this path grows tiresome

I run to You, when I grow weak

Keep Your hand ever on me Lord

that I will walk this road in You

so that others along the way, may see You

guiding me



Storms may come at any time

others may seek to weaken my faith

but I know, You are my strength in all things

so their words and acts have no effect on my heart

on my faith and belief in You

allow me Lord, to walk ever closer to You

gaining strength in You

so that as I walk this road, others along the way

will see You, Your glory and Your love

reaching out to You, so they too

may know You, have You as Lord and Savior

strength and peace.



That will walk this road,

always with them

so they too, may share with those they meet

along the way

how merciful is Your love




How merciful is Your love Lord

how gracious is Your way

You reach out to me

draw me near to You

on the days of my sadness

draw me near to You

when I am afraid

how merciful is Your way Lord

that You see my struggles

understand my fears

and You draw me near to You

close to You

calming my worries

feeding my heart with Your word

where I find instruction

where I find peace

so much there is to see

to understand

when I find myself lost in Your word

lost in You, surrendered fully to You

You forgive my sins

lift me from where I fall

how merciful is Your way

when I am weak

You are my strength

when I turn to You

fully to You

turning away, leaving behind

what past I held in my heart

leaving behind desires of flesh

seeking out the love

that is freely given

peace fully known

when I turn to You

realizing in my heart and life

how merciful is Your love

I know, now I know Lord










Mistakes I have made

following temptations that come

falling away

standing here in the storms

I have in my error created

I know, how I know

I was wrong

to listen to a voice that called

come and see

view what is here, available

ready, for the taking

come and see

I was wrong, so very wrong

when I listened to the voice

calling to me, whispering

listen, hear what is available

take it into yourself

enjoy the sounds, the words

listen

I was wrong, so very wrong

when I heard that same voice

calling, teasing, taunting me

come and see, taste what is here

feel it as it flows across willing lips

come and take advantage of this

enjoy this

I stumbled and I fell

when I listened to the voice

calling from the sides of the path

calling from the edge of the darkness

I was wrong

how wrong

so wrong

and I know this



Now Lord, my God my Savior

I know

this is not something I can fix alone

I cannot correct my errors

fight the temptations

alone

I know my Lord

I need You

for You have promised a way out

You have promised to me

strength from You

lift me Lord from this

for You are the only way

back to the light

back to the right path

away so far away

from the wrongs

temptation follows, calls

I know

from here on my knees before You

the weight of my wrongs on my shoulders

I know my wrongs

but I know Lord my God

You are my strength

to walk away

Your song in my heart

Your words sounding and resounding

again in my heart

covers that voice

the taste of Your love

the feel of Your peace

Your song

always Your song Lord

of sweet merciful grace

that forgives

that gives strength

that gives peace

only You Lord

only with You

can I walk away from the temptations

that call

in that small voice

teasing and tricking

from the side of the way

Blessed in His Promises

I cling to You












So easy Lord, it is so easy

to give in, fall away

lose faith and strength

in the face of the enemy

for our enemy surrounds us

a storm, circling, building

growing in force

knowing our every weakness it grows

too easy it is, to fall away

hiding from the storm in fear

crying out in the thunder

that rumbles across the way

so easy Lord, it is so easy

to fall away

see me here, trembling

seeking You, for You Lord, are my strength

I cling to You

with every moment of time that passes

seeking You, seeking to hide away in You

my fingers cling tightly, entertwined

in Your robe of words

given to us to drape about our person

a shield against the storm

my heart, soaked in Your word

food for the hungry Spirit

drink for the thirsty Soul

I cling to You, feeding on Your word of hope

You know, Lord, how easy it is

for man to fall away

when the storms come

when the winds blow strong

and the rains of despair fall

darkness covers our sight

until Lord, until we seek You

cling to You

seek out the light of Your word

seek out Lord, Your light

to guide and direct us

light our path, closer to You

when the storms come

temptations to fall away grow

I will cling to You

my fingers entertwined in the robe of Your word

shelter, sanctuary; strength and hope

wrapped securely in Your love

I cling to You

ready, I am ready




Morning's light approaches

a new day appearing

I stand at the ready

breathless at the chance

to walk with You

seeing all things

You put before me

ready, eager to do

what ever it is that You ask

working my Lord, for You

out of joy, out of gladness

speaking out of You

the love, the peace

that comes only through You

even in the storms

especially in the storms

You are here

speaking to my heart

to the heart of Your children

reminding, strengthening

for the walk is not easy

the cross may grow heavy

the earthly body weary

You are here, always close

offering a place of rest and healing

offering peace and strength

I stand Lord, at the ready

ready, I am ready Lord

eager to step out, to go forward

one more, stepping out for You

speaking, sharing, showing

that You are love

In You--I am






With humble heart, I come

kneeling before You, Creator of All

The One who with a word

made all things, from nothing

Who from the dust of the earth

created man

and from the rib of man

gave life to woman

The One, who filled the skies with all manner of fowl

Who filled the seas and the land with beast and fish

kneeling here, I realize

how small I am

but how precious to You

born with a nature of sin

growing to a life of stumbling

falling into the darkness of temptations

yet You loved me anyway

loved me enough

to send Your only begotten Son

to pay the price only He could pay

sin's debt

kneeling here, I realize my God my King

the debtor that I am

You have taken what I deserved

made me clean in Your eyes

debtor and servant I come

use me in the work of Your Kingdom

send me, to share with those who know You not

for I am eager Lord, God and King

to share, what I know to be true

to share, and to see understanding dawn

in the eyes of those who hear and understand

I am eager, to be used by You

to go into the fields that are golden

to go into the fields plowed, and plant a seed

God and King, for You

for I am not ashamed

my heart is filled with Your truth

my heart overflows with Your love

Your light and Your peace guide me

provide my path safe and true

past the temptations that wait along the way

I am not ashamed

to share that the love that You have given to me

I am not ashamed

to share the forgiveness found at the foot of the cross

washed clean, by the blood of the Precious Lamb

I kneel here, before You knowing

child of Yours, loved and forgiven

I am
