Guiding Hand

Good morning, all. I just wanted to give the Lord some praise for all that He is and all that He has done for me! Enjoy.

Guiding Hand

When youth allowed me to skip with alacrity

You were there watching me as I, with glee

Noticed all the things there were for me to see.

You pulled me back from things that I didn't need

And shook me with gentleness when wayward I would be

You allowed me to appease my curiosity

While lessons of insight, you did me feed.

Like the beneficent Father that you are

You guided this little one on toward the

Place that You had determined I would be

With gentle hands, oh God, who formed me.

There is that within me that yearns to get out

The praise that you deserve so much

For the omniscience that is You, Lord

Whose hands guide me with Your gentle touch.

Supped from the table prepared by Your hand

Great Father, God, Savior of man

Thank You for allowing this lady to stand

To gaze into Your glory, oh God of my homeland

And work as I wait to be gathered back again.

Doing What I Can, While I Can,
