Unfold
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." James 1:5 of the King James Bible
Wisdom from above I do need
toward decisions for good deed
begging that light my soul can see...
Dear Lord, unfold Your truths to me.
Seeking for direction that's right
though struggling against weakness-blight
my human nature shouts heart's plea...
Dear Lord, unfold Your truths to me.
Thankful that Holy Ghost does guide
for choices against selfish pride
I cling to grace midst prayer-glee...
Dear Lord, unfold Your truths to me.
Vanquishing deceit with its strain
my faith craves for spiritual gain
Ready to share Gospel that's free...
Dear Lord, unfold Your truths to me.
Triumphant over fatal lies
as empowered with Your advice
I learn still, from ignorance, flee...
Dear Lord, unfold Your truths to me.
