Oh Lord God

I have no idea where I am going

I do not see the road ahead of me

I cannot know for certain where it will end.

-

Nor do I really know myself

And the fact that I think I am following your will

Does not mean that I am actually doing so.

But I believe that the desire to please you

Does in fact please you.

And I hope that I have that desire

in all that I am doing.

-

I hope that I will never do anything

apart from that desire to please you.

And I know that if I do this

You will lead me by the right road

Though I may know nothing about it.

Therefore I will trust you always

Though I may seem to be lost

And in the shadow of death.

I will not fear, for you are with me

And you will never leave me

To make my journey alone.
