Lead Me, My God

Lead me, my God, to Your dear heart Where Your love’s bliss cannot depart. There I find peace, joy, contentment Reigning along mercy’s beauty Reaching out midst Your grace-bounty Along Your pardon’s fulfillment. Draw me near Your presence always To worship You with prayer-rays Confessing sins and guilt’s ailment Gripped by faith, secured in Your might Thru Your Word’s light toward truth’s height… Thank You for this divine moment! Lead me, my God, to Your dear heart That’s my plight right from the start. As I win others to Your side Your Gospel, with fervor I share Telling them that You really care You’re the Savior, Teacher and Guide. Help me serve You thru my neighbors To show kindness of good favors Devoid of selfishness and pride. Now, I give You all the praises While my life Your greatness blesses… Inside Your will where I abide! Now, in Your heart, I breathe life’s gift… My soul throbs thru Your precious blood. Redeemed*, I’m bound for heaven’s lift! *Lamentations 3:58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
