When I don’t know what to say
Be my voice
When I don’t know what to pray
Be my choice
	Be the wisdom that eludes,
Beautiful that pursues,
The miracle of Holy Truth

When I don’t know what to do
By my guide
When I don’t know two plus two
Be with me, abide
	Where I know that I can find
The prayer and the promise,
The answers to my inquiries,
The music – so I can harmonize
With the One who inspires my fire

When I don’t know what to believe
Be my faith
When I don’t know what to achieve
Be my light
	When I feel like a failure,
When nothing on earth feels okay
And when I can’t understand the things
That have taken my hopes, my dreams
Leaving me without any confidence – BE with me

When I don’t know the way
Be my example
When I don’t know the yea
Be my certainty
	Wherever I fall beneath
Shadows of sorrow and regret
Fill me with Your grace, Your wisdom
The understanding that comes from
Believing – You are the answer, the 
One who abides inside, restores my smile
Amazes and enlightens – Thanks to You,
My world is filled with a reassurance
That comes from knowing…

You are alive, quieting the fears
Wiping away the tears and reminding me
Always, there is the eternal gift…
The saving grace that gives me a place
A heavenly home where I can forever roam

Thank You, Jesus… for everything You have always been
The kindness and grace, the most beautiful friend
The reason for hope and the gentle, so serene
Savior of the soul – Rescuer of joy within
Thank You, Jesus…  for allowing my restoration to begin!

Please USE ME, Lord… because I long to bring You
Something worthwhile – worship and praise,
My soul’s only hope of showing the me that’s brand new!
