Be My Compass Lord

Word for the Week: Trust
Bible Verse: Proverbs 3:5 -6 NIV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
In all you ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Wherever the road leads, be my compass O Lord.
Show me the way to the place you have prepared for me.
You alone know the way -

Ready me for the journey.
Equip me with Your knowledge and understanding.
Fill me with Your words of peace.
Instruct me Lord, so that Your Will can be fulfilled in my life.
Nurture me along the way so that I may continue to grow into what You want me to be.
Enable me with Your strength and power to fearlessly go wherever You send me.

Mend me when I stumble and fall so that I may continue to walk the path You have set me on.
Embrace me with Your arms of love whenever the journey seems more than I can bear.

The Path

If only there were road signs

All along the way,

I could see much better

The path on which to stay.

Instead there are landmarks

Only eyes of faith can see,

Grace, Mercy, Love and Peace

Sent to set my spirit free.

Sometimes the path seems dim and lonely,

Sometimes the briars cut deep.

Sometimes the path is stony,

Sometimes it's narrow and steep.

Sometimes I feel like sitting down,

I'm tired of walking, you see.

But then I hear my Father say,

"Come go a little further with Me."

My feet are sore,

My heart is weary.

I can't walk another step

Down this path so dreary.

Then in the distance on the ground

The shadow of the Cross I see,

And I remember the cruel road

Jesus walked down for me.

The nails, the spear,

The thorns, the shame.

He didn't stop, He persevered

Without a word of blame.

"Stand up My child and take My hand,"

my Savior said to me.

"You must make it to the end of the path,

Where at last My bride you will be."
