Lord, 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 The weary steps I have to plod I cannot walk alone And sorrows weight upon my soul I can’t bear on my own Please shine a little light upon This cruel and darkened path Your holy presence by my side Is all I really ask The Lord said , it is not my hand You need to soothe your cares Nor shall I walk your footsteps Nor your weight of sorrow bear I shall not walk beside 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 into your soul In abundance from above And in your faith you’ll find the strength To walk down any road To take the next uncertain step To bear your sorrow’s 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 or sorrow Peace will shine upon your face And then I heard Him whisper clear You know that I am always near Elizabeth Santos |

Oh Liz, I just love this. The faith in you is just shining through in this beautiful prayer/poem. So many times throughout my life, when I just didn't think I could take another step He has given me a little nudge and the strength to continue on... This is going to be remembered by me for a long, long time. Thanks for sharing, and God Bless You .... Bonnie |

Dearest Liz; Your faith and courage at this dark time are awesome to behold, and you shine as an incredible example to us all. An example that , when troubles come, We will remember your faith and courage, and thus find it within ourselves. Love, Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

Such insight you have! This very moving peace is a real testimony not only of our Lord's undieing love but of your consistant faith in it resulting from your advancing through adversity. God bless you richly day by day, hour by hour throughout this trying time. |

Oh Liz, that first line brought tears to my eyes. Matt. 11:28-29 Liz this shows such strength, and I know we get weak and weary from this heavily trodden path. When you are weak, it is He who gives us strength. When you feel you just can't make it through, that it's too much to bare, remember it is then He carries you! I know when we're in it, it's so hard to see how we're gonna do it, but take each day at a time. My heart truly does cry for you, and though you may not feel it, you are a pillar of strength! (wrapping my arms around you to hug you big) You're in my prayers Liz! Love ya! <*\\\>< I know not what the future holds, but I know Who holds the future. |
