May I Always Remember...

Fill me with a quiet spirit

A calm voice and steady gaze

So I can navigate through

The confusion and the haze

With You as my guide

And my ever steady hand

Never feeling helpless

Nor unable to make a stand

Please grant me the peace

I need to make it through

May I always remember

To rely only on You

I cannot do it alone

That has been well proved

Teach me to wait on you

Till then, I won’t be moved

Dear Lord as You love me

Remind me to do the same

May I always remember

Who died for my shame

I ask this of You now

I need your merciful grace

As I navigate my way

Within Your loving embrace
