As I sit in my solitude
And walk my lonely path
Suddenly
I feel your hand in mine
And I feel warm and secure
You never leave my side
Even though I stumble....
Your love picks me up
And gives me strength
To face each new day
And courage to overcome
Anguish and Pain.
Help me dear God
To keep myself clean and pure
In thought, word and deed
Help me to be merciful
To those who hurt me
And to those who need me
Help me to spread
Whatever little happiness I can
Whether it by word
A smile or a touch of hand.
Oh God, help me to rest tonight
Beneath the protection
And the warmth of your love
And let me arise tomorrow
To give thanks to you
For a peaceful night.
