Can I Count On You

Can I count on you, Lord 
Before the day is through
When I am feeling down 
I know it hurts you, too.

I am struggling through life
Feel I am by myself 
Dealing with so much strife.

When I am aimlessly wandering,
Trying to find peace, will you be
The one for me to help me find it, all tension 
Finally released from me.

Darkness I have seen around me.
I need you to guide me, for you are 
The radiant light that shines down
On me and you're not afar.

I know the time is getting near 
Help me to be ready, here waiting for you.
To take me to my home above, 
To celebrate with ones I love.

So what I am asking, is can I count on you,
To help me make it through?
For the time is short,  I want to be with you.
