Father, Guide My Steps
Walking alone scares me...
Father, guide my steps
that I may be safe
from coming storms,
whenever I wake,
whatever challenge I take:
be there to strength me and uplift me,
and I won't fear any sound, any darkness:
your wisdom is more than light...
oh, Father, guide my steps in the starless night!
I will not listen to a liar's voice,
and not put my trust in anybody
other than you, Father smiling from above;
the life you gave me is as precious as gold,
I'll wait for tomorrow to unfold...
without any worry and anxiety!
Facing danger makes me weak,
Father guide my steps
and lead me home safely
through fog and rising shadows
that have ghostly faces and speak
as if they were souls of misery!
Father, guide me steps,
not only tonight, but always;
make all darkness disappear
from these dark thoughts...
so that the starriest night can appear,
and morning can chase away clouds!
