The way

Search my heart O God and know me..

I'm tired..

Lead me in the way everlasting,
not by works but by your grace alone
shall I stand.

And I will rise and continue to run with much perseverence the race you set out for me
Let my eyes see your face always
and your will be my will

May the meditations of my heart be pleasing unto You
May the words I speak pour forth your healing, nourishment and truth
May my actions be full of integrity and righteousness
May my thoughts always be with you

Break my heart O God
Let me decrease and you increase
that I leave behind a shadow of your legacy
all the days of my life

Who is like you, O God
Who made the magnificent heavens
Who cover the earth with the sea and commands the path of stars

Who is like you, O God
Ruler of the earth
Nations rise and fall, but your word remains

I sing your praises, your wondrous works,
Let my heart never cease to be amazed by you.

I am yours, forever.
You lead me like a sheep to green pastures,
you carry me out of the rocky valleys,
you nurse my wounds and warn me out of pitfalls.

Great is your love towards me,
Great is your love.
How high, how far and wide
Who can fathom the depths of your love?

For you alone are good,
you never forsake me.
I will soar beneath the shadow of your wing.
You will carry me through.
