God, Please Take My Hand

This is a pain I’ve never known
It’s hard to understand
I think I need a little help
So Lord, please take my hand

I’ve had my share of troubles
I’ve known hunger, strife and fear
But this time, Lord, I’m all alone
And I will need You near

I’ve always been the strong one
Standing tall in sorrow’s wake
But this time I just need you, Lord
To point which road to take

My weary steps are steps I can
No longer walk alone
And there is heavy sorrow
That I can’t bear on my own

Please shine a little light upon
This cruel and darkened path
Your feet to guide my footsteps, Lord
Is all I really ask

The Lord said , it is not my hand
You need to soothe your cares
Nor shall I carve your footsteps
Nor your weight of sorrow bear

I shall not walk in front of you
Nor point which way to go
For you must light the path yourself
In ways that you well know

Have faith in Me, not in my help
Believe that I am Love
And peace will come abundantly
A peace you’re needy of

Within your faith you’ll find the strength
To walk down any road
And you will learn to bear the weight
Of life’s most dreadful load

For though you’ve lived and felt the pain
Of sorrow’s jagged spear
You still must learn that through your faith
You’ll rid your soul of fear

Walk gently down the road of life
Confront each day with grace
In happiness and sorrow
Peace will shine upon your face

Oh Lizzie, what a beautiful prayer you write this day. You know my sense of humor and you will now understand that you got me singing, "This Little Light Of Mine."

Lady, there are very few could fill your shoes or walk the path you take, and still radiate the beauty that you do, both inside and out.

Words of wisdom and grace from a master poet. How anyone can look at your talent and not believe there is a god is beyond me.

You're the best, m'lady
