Upon this land of hope I stand
My heart is reaching for your hand
My wayward soul, direction
Each day does grow your strength inside
My thoughts from you, I can not hide
Your trust fills my affection

Days, each hard to face alone
But now true love to me you’ve shown
And days are looking brighter
You’ve given me a love for day
A love I know won’t go away
Each burden now is lighter

I praise you, although quietly
I hear your voice, though silently
My joy inside is you
When days are tough and hard to bare
When life, compassion will not share
I know you’ll help me through

Showing me which road to walk
Guiding me when paths they fork
Your my escort and my mentor
Showing love is always there
Around me now and everywhere
Each day I love you more

Glorious poem from a truly prayerful heart!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
