Light My Way

What I am is not what I hope I'll be;

What I see now isn't what I shall see.

My desire is to become as you are;

I know you are near, but I feel so far.

So I'm asking you, Lord, make me new.

Is it possible? Tell me it's true. 

Light my way, and help me follow;

Show me what I've yet to perceive.

Take this hard heart, cold and hollow;

Touch me now, and help me believe.

I don't want to live inside a dark dream,

Floating down an ever restless doubt stream,

Forfeiting the peace I know you've given,

Wishing I could leave the maze I live in.

But I'm done with wishing; wishes fade.

Your love stays when dreams have strayed.

Light my way, and help me follow;

Show me what I've yet to perceive.

Take this hard heart, cold and hollow;

Touch me now, and help me believe.

Lord, I pray not my will.

Your ways are higher; your will be done.

I will trust; I'll be still.

You will finish what you have begun.

Light my way, and help me follow;

Show me what I've yet to perceive.

Take this hard heart, cold and hollow;

Touch me now, and help me believe.

Light my way, and help me follow;

Show me what I've yet to perceive.

Take this hard heart, cold and hollow;

Touch me now, and help me believe.
