What I’d love to have, Lord,
is a spiritual GPS
is a spiritual GPS
to map a path for my life
where all the roads are level and smooth…
Of bumps and potholes I’ve had enough!
Of bumps and potholes I’ve had enough!
Something newly paved, firm and smooth,
would be a welcome change…
Of dark valleys and steep hills I’ve had my fill:
a level highway would make my day –
and help me make my way to you…
Why is it, Lord, that fidelity’s path is so often
rough and rocky, with twists and turns
and uphill climbs that never seem to end?
Why is the way of your word and will
so often the hardest road to take
while other paths, to right and left,
seem shorter, faster, smoother?
if I’ve made a wrong turn or two,
show me the way I should have gone:
show me the way I should have gone:
let your word be a map
your wisdom a compass
to show me the right direction…
to show me the right direction…
And if, praise God,
I’m already on the right path:
show me your face and take my hand
and let your spirit guide and guard me
every step along the way…
I trust you never mislead me, Lord!
That for reasons known to you alone
the road I’m on is the path that’s mine,
the one you mapped for me…
the one you mapped for me…
When short-cuts beckon
to lead me astray
strengthen my resolve to follow you
and to never walk alone…
When I tire of the path I’m following,
and can’t see where it leads;
when I’m not sure where it all began
or how I got this far;
when I wonder if this journey of mine
is worth the pain and trouble:
give me breath for another step
and a glimpse of where I’m going;
let me see you’ve brought me safe thus far
and safe will bring me home…
let me see you’ve brought me safe thus far
and safe will bring me home…
Be with me, Lord, along the way
as you’re with me now in prayer;
I only want to walk the way
that leads me home to you…
Amen.
