Accompanied
Thank you Lord for walking with me
Through the shadowed vales and valleys,
Holding when I blindly stumble
Until flagging spirit rallies.
When you take the larger burden
Relieving me of its great heft;
You ask only that I carry
The modest portion that is left
Now that I’ve survived the danger
And have now safely swum to shore,
I know big waves would have swamped me
Had you not lifted me once more.
