If my pathway seems not clear
Then be my sight that leads to life.
If
Lord
I have Your presence dear
Then Lord my future will be bright.
I long to stay
Lord
earnestly!
But mercy’s all that’s keeping me.
I choose to stay
remain in life;
Save me from death
turn me to life.
Chase all the shades of night away;
Chase all dark thoughts of sin away.
Since through Your word I gain more life
Lord
let me come be filled with life.
As I go on
there’s a test:
Will I all things
dear Lord
detest?
Will I to “precious” things adhere
Yet lose Your presence
Lord
so dear?
If I’m by pride
ambition
lost
Then
Lord
expose me at all cost.
If foll’wing You is at great price
What can I give except my life?
Let me become a sacrifice
To live a self-denying life
A life that cares for nothing else
But Christ my all
my universe!
