My Next Step

When I cannot my next step see, Let my step lead me to Thee. The fog surrounds me thicker now But let it hinder not my vow. When my foot I thus shall place Will it solid ground embrace? Or will it meet an endless void That wants to see my soul destroyed? When with my foot I thus shall step Will it find smooth paths well kept? Or will it find the roughest street Whose thorns and stones shall cut my feet? When my foot I thus shall set Will it be with kindness met? Or will it meet with vipers, snakes Whose venom will my life then take? When with my foot I step forth Will my knee stand firm henceforth Or will I buckle, weak and lost Will my power thus be tossed? When I cannot my next step see I know my step will lead to Thee For I do not step as I please; But follow You through raging seas. And as this step I blindly take My vows to You, I steadfast make: Wherever You may lead me on My gaze shall rest, Your face, upon.
