31. Lord Show Me Thy Way

All doors closed,
All hands folded,
All eyes blindfolded
Lord show me "Thy Way"

No strength to bear
No hands to wipe the tear
No kith and kin to share
No companion to care
Lord show me "Thy Way"

You know my conflicts,
You know my ailments,
You know my disappointments,
You know my achievements,
Lord show me "Thy Way"

You are the only one,
Help there is none,
To lead me across the bridge
Of tribulations, agony and strife,
And enter your kingdom of Eternal peace.
    

32. These Gifts I Ask

These gifts I ask of thee
To let me walk with thee
Teach me thy secret
To help me to bear the travellers road.
Give me the patience to be still,
And bear thy will.
Strength for the daily task,
Courage to venture wholly on the arm, that will not harm.

Give me the wisdom,
That will never let me stray,
Open wide our eyes to knowledge
Truth and beauty everywhere.

Give me the love
That never afflicts
But comforts and cheers
Every broken heart.
For love's strength standeth in Love's sacrifice.
