A PSALM ASKING FOR HELP
Oh Lord, help me understand thy ways,
Let thy wisdom flow through me.
Give me strength to endure well
As through thorny paths I do tread,
Let thy ways be known unto me
That I may ever walk along the right way,
And thy guiding light be my staff and stay.
Fill me with thy love that I may know thy will
And be able to follow thy statutes every hour,
Let wisdom be my ever true friend,
Sweet kindness my constant companion.
May I reflect thy ways in all that I do and say,
An example for good in this world of sin.
Teach me Lord to be thy true shepherd
And help me find and feed thy sheep,
Let thy precious lambs stay ever true,
Help me to lead them aright, not go astray.
Oh Lord, lead me by the hand, help keep evil away
And thy loving arms give me strength each day and night.
(Millicent) Ann Margetson 17 March 2005
