God Leads Me

God
leads me
thru His grace…
lifting my soul
...toward victory
in serving with faith’s gear
against self-glorying lust...
while trusting His merciful heart 
that desires redemption of mankind
with my willing diligent stewardship.

I
follow*
my Lord God,
the wise Leader
Who holds the future.
Forever King of kings
He directs with supreme might
along compassion’s gentleness…
for ascent to faithfulness’ triumph
beckoning creation’s joyous worship!

*1Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps.
