Walk Your Way
A poem with a resurrection
As a preface, I wrote this in 1985 when I was in Minnesota.
I gave framed, hand-written copies to my dad's siblings for Christmas. My aunt recently sent me a photocopy of hers. Until then, I had completely forgotten about it.
Be gentle!
*
Heav'nly Father, God above
Holy Spirit, Lord of love
Please forgive my sins each day
And help me always walk your way.
*
Thank you for the gift of strength
When faith remains through tests at length.
Tell me always what to say
And help me always walk your way.
*
Help me God to share your word
Until the world will have heard
Your plans for those who in your stay
Have ever always walked your way.
*
Bless the people that I know
In what they do and where they go.
Guide my studies, song, and play
And help me always walk your way.
*
If it be your will by grace,
Spread your bounty every place.
Cheer me when I'm feeling gray
And help me always walk your way.
*
Teach me Father how to pray
Guide my soul when it may stray.
Lead me to your chosen day
And help me always walk your way.
