The Help I Need

The help
I need 
I fear
is near. 

I hope 
I pray
it will guide me 
thru today from yesterday. 

I need 
I fear 
I hope 
I pray.

I’ve Seen A Light

I’ve seen a light
to guide me thru the darkest
most treacherous night.

It’s beam radiates truth
love and light
holding my heart, my hand
my sight.

Trusting in it’s glowing light
I make it to the morning
the glorious morning light.

Heaven Helps

Heaven helps
Helps me see
The things I need to see
Feel the things that will guide me
Hear the beauty in everything
Everything
Everything around me.

Dear Lord, My God

Dear Lord, my God
Let me be
Part of a world that is happy.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me see
Things of beauty in all I perceive.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me hear
The words of my soul
Let them guide me where I need to go.

Dear Lord, my God
Let me feel
The spirit that lives inside of me.

Dear Lord, my God
My Spirit, my Soul
I need your guidance
Your knowledge, your company
Here by me, where’re I go.
